Abstract

This paper describes the vasopressin (VP) and oxytocin (OXT) immunoreactive structures in the brain and upper spinal cord of the adult male and female Macaca fascicularis. Immunocytochemistry following intraventricular application of colchicine displayed VP neurons in the diagonal band of Broca (DBB), bed nucleus of the stria terminalis (BST), medial amygdaloid nucleus, dorsomedial hypothalamic nucleus, area of the locus coeruleus (LC), solitary tract nuclei (NTS), and the dorsal horn of the cervical spinal cord in addition to those known to exist in the paraventricular, supraoptic, and suprachiasmatic hypothalamic nuclei. Furthermore, a dense accumulation of VP fibers was observed in areas such as the DBB, medial septum, BST, amygdala, hippocampus, ventral tegmental area, periaquaductal gray, dorsal and ventral raphe, area of Forel, LC region, parabrachial nuclei, and NTS. The lateral septum and lateral habenula displayed no and very few VP fibers, respectively. No extrahypothalamic OXT neurons were found in the brain of this macaque monkey. Dense concentrations of OXT fibers were demonstrated in the amygdala, NTS, and marginal layer of the cervical spinal cord. No sexual dimorphism was found in this primate VP or OXT system. The results show a distribution of the central VP and OXT systems in this primate which is quite different from that in the rat. However, in various aspects it agrees with current data on the VP and OXT systems of the human brain. The present results su…

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • In Macaca, dense concentrations of OT fibers were found in the amygdala and NTS, and AVP-ir projected to the amygdala, BNST, PAG, VTA, hippocampus, and NTS, but not the LS.

    “In Macaca, dense concentrations of OT fibers were found in the amygdala and NTS, and AVP-ir was shown to project to the amygdala, BNST, PAG, VTA, hippocampus, and NTS, but not the LS (Caffé et al., 1989).”

  • No extrahypothalamic OT neurons were found in Macaca or Homo, but OT-ir neurons were found in the BNST and meA of Callithrix.

    “However, no extrahypothalamic OT neurons were found in either Macaca or Homo (Caffé et al., 1989; Ishunina and Swaab, 1999), but OT-ir neurons were found in the BNST and meA of Callithrix (Wang et al., 1997a, 1997b).”

  • OT- and AVP-containing neurons have been identified in the PVN and SON in Callithrix, Macaca, and Homo.

    “As expected, OT- and AVP-containing neurons have been identified in the PVN and SON in Callithrix (Wang et al., 1997a, 1997b), Macaca (Caffé et al., 1989), and Homo (Ishunina and Swaab, 1999).”

  • AVP-ir neurons are found in the BNST in Callithrix, Macaca, and Homo.

    “AVP-ir neurons are found in the BNST in these genera (Caffé et al., 1989; Fliers et al., 1986; Ishunina and Swaab, 1999; Wang et al., 1997a).”

  • No sex differences were found in OT-ir or AVP-ir of Macaca or Homo in studies that included both males and females and analyzed sex.

    “Of the studies that included both males and females and included an analysis of sex, no sex differences were found in OT-ir or AVP-ir of Macaca or Homo (Caffé et al., 1989; Fliers et al., 1986).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
