Abstract

Using a monoclonal antibody, nerve growth factor receptor has been immunohistochemically identified within the suprachiasmatic nucleus of adult rats. Labelling was most intense in the ventral, lateral and caudal portions of the nucleus and appeared primarily associated with fibers and terminals. These were among the most intensely labelled fibers and terminals in the forebrain.
