摘要
The firing rate and pattern of activity of neurons in the anterior commissural nucleus (ACN), which was rich in oxytocin-containing neurons, were studied electrophysiologically in hypothalamic slices. Extracellular recording showed that most ACN neurons exhibited irregular or regular continuous spontaneous unit activity. Other neurons showed short burst patterns of activity or were silent, The majority of ACN neurons were activated by bath application of angiotensin II, and a substantial number of them showed inhibitory or excitatory responses to hypertonic bathing medium. These results indicate that magnocellular neurosecretory neurons in the ACN may participate in the regulation of water balance.
