Converging qualitative and quantitative anatomical methods, including Golgi impregnations, Nissl stains, silver stains, and immunocytochemistry were used to study the intrinsic organization of the PVN with light, scanning, and transmission electron microscopy. A computer\u2010assisted quantitative analysis of dendritic branching patterns was used to examine total dendritic length, center of mass, orientation of dendritic tree, and several other parameters of dendritic organization and revealed statistically significant differences between cells in the lateral and posterolateral magnocellular and medial parvocellular areas of PVN. Electron microscopy, Golgi impregnation, and neurophysin immunohistochemistry showed that dendrites of posterolateral cells were generally oriented perpendicular to the third ventricle; dendrites of cells in the lateral PVN usually projected medially from the perikaryon. Cells in the medial zone of PVN had dendritic trees which often paralleled the third ventricle. Large numbers of axons entered and left PVN ventrally near the midline and laterally in the area of the posterolateral PVN; axons generally were oriented parallel to the mean major axis of dendritic trees in these areas. Ultrastructural examination of serial thin sections showed a peculiar astroglia multiple lamellar isolation of axodendritic synaptic contacts. Intrinsic axons commonly arose from parvocellular but not from magnocellular neurons and contacted dendrites of both medial parvocellular and more lateral magnocellular neurons. Synapses were found on shafts and spines of dendrites, on perikarya and somatic appendages, and invaginated into the soma. Both dendrites and axons with large neurosecretory vesicles and immunostained with neurophysin antiserum were found postsynaptic to other axons. Presynaptic neurosecretory axons were not found within the PVN. A semiquantitative analysis of catecholamine axons identified with the glyoxylic acid method and fibers immunoreactive with ACTH and Substance P antisera indicated that the parvocellular region of PVN received greater innervation than the lateral magnocellular area; similarly, a greater density of stained fibers was found in the medial parvocellular PVN region with Golgi impregnations and silver stains. With a stereological analysis of 1\u2010\u03bcm plastic sections, the parvocellular area had a significantly greater neuropil to cell volume ratio, with cells accounting for 48 \u00b1 9% in the lateral magnocellular zone, but only for 26 \u00b1 7% in the parvocellular area. A quantitative analysis of vasculature from thin sections showed that the PVN had 3.3 times more blood vessels, and 3.6 times more lumen perimeter than a control area ventrolateral to PVN; an interesting finding here was that the medial parvocellular PVN had a high degree of vascularity, not significantly different nervous system, and the area near the third ventricle may be not different from more lateral regions. This does not, however, argue against some interaction between ventricular fluid and neurons of the paraventricular nucleus.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/cne.902060402","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2005,1,1]],"date-time":"2005-01-01T16:57:45Z","timestamp":1104598665000},"page":"317-345","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":188,"title":["The magnocellular and parvocellular paraventricular nucleus of rat: Intrinsic organization"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"206","author":[{"given":"Anthony N.","family":"Van Den Pol","sequence":"first","affiliation":[]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2004,10,9]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_1_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1212\/WNL.30.10.1106"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_3_1","first-page":"311","article-title":"The blood supply of the rat hypothalamus.
