“…Although the distribution of LHRH-IR perikarya has been mapped in the human diencephalon with immunocytochemistry (Barry, 1976(Barry, , 1977Silverman et al, 1979Silverman et al, , 1994King and Anthony, 1984;King et al, 1985;Song et al, 1987;Abe et al, 1990;Stopa et al, 1991;Bloch et al, 1992) and in situ hybridization (Rance et al, 1994;Rance and Uswandi, 1996), a discrepancy was found between the numbers of cells immunoreactive for LHRH or expressing LHRH mRNA (Barry, 1976(Barry, , 1977King and Anthony, 1984;King et al, 1985;Abe et al, 1990;Stopa et al, 1991). The distributions of LHRH-IR and NPY-IR structures were therefore reexamined in adjacent sections and the observations were compared with findings published by others (Pelletier et al, 1984;Song et al, 1987;Ciofi et al, 1990;Corder et al, 1990;Stopa et al, 1991;Silverman et al, 1994).…”
