“…These data agree with previous results in fish (Arevalo et al, 1995;Brüning et al, 1995;Ando et al, 2004) and land vertebrates (Vincent and Kimura, 1992;Brüning and Mayer, 1996;Lopez and Gonzalez, 2002;Soares et al, 2003;Gotti et al, 2005). The actual functional contributions of the thalamic nuclei in teleosts, in comparison with those suggested in other vertebrates, are controversial (Northcutt, 2006).…”

“…The ILSC are characterized by a periodic architecture of cell patches forming overlapping lattices of high immunoreactivities for NADPH-diaphorase (Soares et al, 2003) and choline acetyltransferase (Jeon and Mize, 1993;Wallace and Fredens, 1989). These lattices bear a specific relationship to the cell groups that give rise to tecto-reticulo-spinal and tecto-cuneiform pathways (Illing, 1992;Jeon and Mize, 1993).…”

“…During the last years a lot of studies on NOS and NO have been performed (Mizukawa et al 1989, Mizukawa 1990, Dawson et al 1991a, 1991b, 1994, Hope et al 1991, Rodrigo et al 1994, Kullo et al 1997, Soares et al 2003, Marino and Cudeiro 2003, Papantchev et al 2003, 2006, Sears et al 2004, Seyidova et al 2004.

Nitric oxide is a unique neurotransmitter, which participates in many physiological and pathological processes in the organism. Nevertheless there are little data about the neuronal Nitric Oxide Synthase immunoreactive (nNOS-ir) neurons and fibers in the dorsal claustrum (DC) of a cat. In this respect the aims of this study were: (1) to demonstrate nNOS-ir in the neurons and fibers of the DC; (2) to describe their light microscopic morphology and distribution; (3) to investigate and analyze the ultrastructure of the nNOS-ir neurons, fibers and synaptic terminals; (4) to verify whether the nNOS-ir neurons consist a specific subpopulation of claustral neurons; (5) to verify whether the nNOS-ir neurons have a specific pattern of organization throughout the DC. For demonstration of the nNOS-ir the Avidin-Biotin-Peroxidase Complex method was applied. Immunopositive for nNOS neurons and fibers were present in all parts of DC. On the light microscope level nNOS-ir neurons were different in shape and size. According to the latter they were divided into three groups-small (with diameter under 15 microm), medium-sized (with diameter from 16 to 20 microm) and large (with diameter over 21 microm). Some of nNOS-ir neurons were lightly-stained while others were darkly-stained. On the electron microscope level the immunoproduct was observed in neurons, dendrites and terminal boutons. Different types of nNOS-ir neurons differ according to their ultrastructural features. Three types of nNOS-ir synaptic boutons were found. As a conclusion we hope that the present study will contribute to a better understanding of the functioning of the DC in cat and that some of the data presented could be extrapolated to other mammals, including human.
