    Notes: Summary The present ultrastructural study proves the existence of nerve terminals closely apposed to the plasmalemmata of tanycytes in the rat median eminence. Several of these “axo-tanycytic” endings display remarkable accumulations of agranular endoplasmic reticulum in the form of pleomorphic vesicles which are closely apposed on either side of the plasma membrane of each cell compartment. Some of these vesicular profiles give the impression of structural continuity across both membrane systems. This phenomenon is discussed in the context of being a potential substratum for communication between both cell compartments.

    Notes: Summary A combined scanning/transmission electron microscopic (SEM/TEM) technique was used to analyze the third cerebral ventricle and underlying tissue of the median eminence of 6 mature rhesus monkeys. The same sample of the ventricular wall was subjected to both SEM and TEM. This technique demonstrates two basic subpopulations of supraependymal cells on the surface of the supraoptic, infundibular and mammillary recesses. Type 1 cells are definitely neuron-like in their surface configuration and internal fine structural organization. Type 2 cells are more similar to histiocytes and are not as numerous as type 1 cells. The functional capacity of type 1 cells is discussed in the context of their potential role as a neuronal network that may serve as a short loop autoregulatory mechanism controlling the synthesis of releasing hormones or biogenic amines.

    The primate median eminence II (1976)

    Notes: Summary The ultrastructure of the normal median eminence of the male rhesus monkey (Macaca mulatta) is described using high-voltage electron microscopy. Surface specializations of ependymal cells lining the infundibular recess included cilia, apical extrusions, and microvilli. Supraependymal cells were predominantly macrophage-like, but examples of lymphocytic types were also seen. Tanycytes had long, branching, basal processes filled with numerous microtubules, some lipid droplets, and granules. The zona interna was composed of large unmyelinated neurosecretory fibers. A few myelinated fibers were also seen, but their character as neurosecretory fibers could not be established. The zona externa was composed of densely-packed profiles of neurosecretory fibers of small diameter, was well-vascularized and contained the terminations of tanycytes. Perivascular glial cells, vesiculated elements, pituicytes, and cellular elements common to connective tissue were observed. The intricate relationships between both the cellular and fibrous elements of the median eminence can be appreciated with the capability of high-voltage electron microscopy to discern ultrastructure in sections 10 times thicker than those used for low-voltage electron microscopy. The median eminence of this primate species has an ultrastructural organization similar to that described for most other species.

    Ultrastructural changes in the median eminence of the rat following deafferentation of the basal hypothalamus (1970)
    Springer

    Notes: Summary This report concerns a light and electron microscopic investigation of the median eminence and dorsal infundibular stem of the rat following surgical isolation (deafferentation). Using a modification of the Halász technique, the basal hypothalamus, including the arcuate nucleus and median eminence were surgically isolated from surrounding structures. Special attention was directed to the contact (external) zone of the median eminence and rostral infundibulum where tuberohypophyseal axons as well as ependymal cell processes abut upon the abluminal basement membrane of the portal perivascular space. The results of this study to date suggest that 9, 20, and 40 days following surgical isolation, there is a distinct increase in the population of tuberohypophyseal dense core vesicles. It is suggested that deafferentation abolishes inhibitory and excitatory input that serves to modify the cellular dynamics of tuberohypophyseal neurosecretory elements. Comments are also made on the presence of cistern-like structures in the lateral median eminence; the presence of vesicle-like inclusions in terminal ependymal processes is discussed in relationship to the role that ependyma may play in linking the third ventricle with the adenohypophysis.

    Fetal hypothalamic transplants in the third ventricle of the adult rat brain (1980)

    Notes: Summary Blocks of anterior hypothalamus were transplanted from 19 day-old fetuses of Wistar/Lewis rats into the third ventricle of adult male Brattleboro rats. Physiological changes in graft recipients and in sham-operated animals were monitored daily. Twenty days after surgery, the graft recipients and shamoperated animals were killed and their brains examined by correlative scanning and transmission electron microscopy. Host animals that exhibited both decreased polydipsia and increased urine concentration were found to have viable grafts within the third ventricle. The observed physiological changes suggested that synthesis and release of vasopressin occurred in the transplanted neurons. Grafts were well vascularized by vessels arising from the host hypothalamus. Neurons, with perikarya ranging from 8 to 30 μm in diameter, glial cells, and neurites were located throughout the transplants. A neurohemal contact zone, similar to that normally seen in the median eminence, could not be demonstrated in the grafts. The absence of complete glial and ependymal barriers indicates a relatively close association between cells in the transplants and the cerebrospinal fluid. A large increase in supraependymal neurons and their processes, including an eruption of neurons through the floor of the third ventricle in one animal, was observed in graft recipients but not in shamoperated animals.

    Correlative scanning-transmission electron microscopic examination of the perinatal rat brain (1978)

    Notes: Summary The ultrastructural organization of the perinatal hypothalamus and the dynamics of neuronal and ependymal growth and plasticity were examined in this investigation. The brains of fetal rats 16, 17 and 18 days in utero and those of postnatal rats 1–16 days post partum were fixed with aldehyde fixatives and prepared for combined SEM/TEM analysis. By day 17 in utero the ventricular (ependymal) surfaces of the fetal thalamic wall, cerebral vesicle and rhomboid fossa were relatively well differentiated with cilia and microvilli. Type II histiocytes were the first supraependymal cell to appear upon the ventricular lumen and were evident by day 17 in utero. In contrast, the apical surfaces of tanycytes of the infundibular recess as well as those of most other circumventricular organs were poorly differentiated and unremarkable. Tanycytes of the infundibular recess exhibited a simple hexagonal mosaic pattern of apposed plasmalemmata and even by day 1 post partum few cilia or microvilli were evident. By day 5–6 post partum Type I supraependymal neurons and axonal processes began to make their appearance with some emerging from the underlying parenchyma of the median eminence. By day 16 post partum the ventricular surface of the infundibular recess was comparable with that of the adult. The Type I supraependymal neurons are remarkably similar in their ultrastructural organization with parvicellular neurosecretory neurons elsewhere in the endocrine hypothalamus. Their emergence at day 5–6 post partum suggests a possible correlation with the critical period of sexual differentiation and a potential receptor role for this cell line. On the contrary this phenomenon may simply be a developmental anomaly. Nonetheless, the mergence of such elements upon the lumen of the third cerebral ventricle underscores a remarkable degree of neuronal plasticity in the perinatal hypothalamus.
