摘要
The ultrastructure and synaptic relations of neurotensinergic neurons in the rat dorsal raphe nucleus (DRN) were examined. The neurotensin like immunoreactive (NT-LI) neurons in the DRN were fusiform or spherical. The NT-LI perikarya could only be detected in colchicine-created animals whereas the immunoreactive axon terminals could only be found in the animals not treated with colchicine. Although many NT-LI dendrites received synapses from nonimmunoreactive axon terminals, the NT-LI perikarya received few synapses. NT-LI axon terminals also made synapses on nonimmunoreactive dendrites. Occasionally, synapses were found between the NT-LI axon terminals and NT-LI dendrites in the cases in which the animals were not treated with colchicine.
