    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Die Wirkung von Aktinomycin auf die neurosekretorischen Q-und P-Zellen im Cerebralganglion von Enchytraeus wurde untersucht. Die Cytophotometrie lichtmikroskopischer Präparate von Q-Zellen ergab, daß in den ersten Stunden nach Aktinomycin-Behandlung eine deutliche Verminderung PAF-positiven Materials auftritt. Die ersten Veränderungen wurden elektronenmikroskopisch zwischen 1 und 4 Std nach Aktinomycin-Injektion beobachtet. Sie waren in beiden Zelltypen am eindeutigsten am Nucleolus. Es kommt zu einer Sonderung und räumlichen Trennung von granulärem und fibrillärem Material. Letzteres wird sehr stark vermehrt. In bezug auf Veränderungen der Strukturen des Cytoplasmas unterscheiden sich die Q-und P-Zellen besonders im Verhalten des Golgi-Apparates und der Ribosomen. Der Golgi-Apparat wird in den Q-Zellen kurze Zeit nach Applikation von Aktinomycin reduziert. In den P-Zellen persistiert er dagegen über alle beobachteten Zeitstufen hinweg. Die Ribosomen lösen sich von den Membranen in den Q-Zellen 4–8 Std nach Injektion, was in den P-Zellen nicht festzustellen ist. Diese Tatsachen führen zu der Annahme, daß das System der Proteinsynthese der P-Zellen relativ stabiler als das der Q-Zellen ist. Die in den späteren Zeitstufen beobachtete Normalisierung der Zellstrukturen läßt darauf schließen, daß die Wirkung des einmalig injizierten Aktinomycins 24 Std danach nachzulassen beginnt.
    Notes: Summary The influence of actinomycin on the neurosecretory Q and P cells of the brain of Enchytraeus was studied. Cytophotometrical measurements of Q cells in light mirocscopic preparations showed a significant decrease of PAF-positive material in the first hours after actinomycin application. At the ultrastructural level primary changes were established one to four hours after injection of actinomycin: In the nucleolus granular and fibrillar material became separated; there was a substantial increase of the fibrillar component. Concerning structural changes of the cytoplasm, Q and P cells differed especially with respect to the Golgi apparatus and the ribosomes. In the Q cells the Golgi apparatus had become greatly reduced shortly after actinomycin treatment. However, it persisted in P cells during all stages examined. Ribosomes became detached from membranes only in Q cells between 4 and 8 hours after injection. These data indicate that protein synthesis in P cells shows greater stability than in Q cells. The restitution of normal ultrastruoture during subsequent stages indicates that effects begin to subside 24 hours after a single injection.

    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé Les noyaux supra-optiques et paraventriculaires de l'hypothalamus du Rat albinos soumis aux ions atmosphériques positifs pendant 20 et 40 jours, présentent des signes d'hypo-activité: tendance à la diminution des volumes nucléaires et nucléolaires, augmentation des granules de neurosécrétat dans le cytoplasme des cellules neurosécrétrices, et diminution du matériel neurosécrétoire au long des axones. Corrélativement, la post-hypophyse est très appauvrie (surtout après 40 jours) en matériel coloré par l'hématoxyline chromique. On peut admettre, à la lumière de résultats antérieurs ou non publiés, que cette hypoactivité des neurones hypothalamiques est liée à une hyposécrétion d'hormone antidiurétique (A.D.H.). Cependant, on ne note pas de polyurie, mais une oligurie qui tend à disparaître une quinzaine de jours après le début du traitement; ceci suggère l'idée d'une réponse homéostatique hypothalamo-hypophysaire consécutive à un trouble du métabolisme hydrique induit par un autre facteur oligurique. Par ailleurs, Krueger a trouvé que l'aéro-ionisation positive entraine une augmentation du taux sanguin de sérotonine dont l'action antidiurétique au niveau rénal est bien connue. Ceci permet d'expliquer une composante oligurique initiale, provoquant en retour une inhibition hypothalamo-post-hypophysaire, de signification diurétique, cette réaction hypothalamique, ne normalisant la diurèse qu'au bout d'une quinzaine de jours, lors de l'épuisement de la réserve en ADH de la neuro-hypophyse. L'ensemble des modifications du métabolisme hydrominéral observées après aéro-ionisation positive peut s'expliquer de façon satisfaisante par l'augmentation du taux sanguin de sérotonine, contrebalancée progressivement par la réduction du taux d'ADH.
    Notes: Summary In the hypothalamus of albino rats submitted to positive air ions for 20 to 40 days, supra-optic and paraventricular nuclei exhibit various signs of hypo-activity: a slight decrease of nuclear and nucleolar volumes, an increase of the amount of neurosecretory granules in these neurones, while the migration of the neurosecretory material in the axons is diminished, almost no staining substance being detected along the axons. Simultaneously, the chrome-haematoxylin positive material is greatly reduced in the neurohypophysis, mainly after 40 days. Considering these data and other results, either unpublished or previously reported by various authors, it appears that the hypo-activity observed in the hypothalamo-neurohypophysial system may be correlated with a hyposecretion of antidiuretic hormone (ADH). There is no increase of diuresis; instead, an antidiuresis was noted which tends to disappear after about two weeks of treatment. This finding suggests that the hypothalamo-hypophysial response observed may be due to a disturbance of water metabolism induced by another antidiuretic factor. Besides, it was established that a treatment with positive air ions induces a significant increase of the serotonin level of the blood (Krueger). As an antidiuretic effect is directly exerted by serotonin on the kidneys, it may be responsible for the antidiuresis observed in this experiment. The inhibition of hypothalamic nuclei according to histological criteria would represent a homeostatic response trying to compensate the antidiuresis initially produced by serotonin, the neurohypophysial storage of ADH delaying the efficiency of this hypothalamic inhibition. All the available data on the modifications of water and electrolyte metabolism detected after a positive aero-ionization may be explained satisfactorily by an increase of the serotonin level of the blood, progressively counteracted by a decrease of ADH.

    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé Les effets de l'adénohypophysectomie et de diverses sollicitations de l'axe hypothalamo-hypophysio-corticosurrénalien sur l'ultrastructure de l'Eminence Médiane (E.M.) ont été étudiés chez le Pigeon. 1. Chez le Pigeon entier, l'Eminence Médiane Caudale (E.M.C.) se distingue de l'Eminence Médiane Rostrale (E.M.R.) essentiellement par l'absence dans les deux couches les plus externes (couches palissadique et superficielle) de l'E.M.C. de granules de gros calibres (1600 à 1900 Å), la rareté de granules de diamètre moyen (1200–1400 Å) et la prédominance de petites vésicules à cœur dense de 600–800 Å. 2. La préhypophysectomie entraine: a) dans l'E.M.R. la quasi disparition de granulations dans les deux couches externes; b) dans l'E.M.C. la ≪vidange≫ de nombreux axones, mais un enrichissement relatif, parmi les granulations restantes, des granulations de gros calibre (1600–1900 Å) aux dépens des granules de plus petit calibre. 3. Un shock insulinique entraine des modifications du même ordre: a) déplétion des granules denses, limitée dans ce cas à la portion la plus antérieure des deux couches externes de l'E.M.R.; b) enrichissement relatif des granulations de moyen (1200–1400 Å) et de gros (1600–1900 Å) calibre dans l'E.M.C. avec, en plus dans l'E.M.C., un enrichissement en vésicules de type synaptique. 4. Un traitement à la métopirone produit un accroissement du nombre des granulations de moyen (1200–1400 Å) calibre dans les couches externes de l'E.M.R. et de l'E.M.C., et un enrichissement important de l'E.M.C. en vésicules de type synaptique. 5. Le traitement à la prednisolone conduit à un enrichissement très marqué des couches externes de l'E.M.R. en grains de 1200–1400 Å, et à un enrichissement des couches externes de l'E.M.C. en granulations de 1000 Å. Ces résultats sont discutés dans la perspective des régulations hypothalamo-corticotropes, particulièrement en ce qui concerne les granules de 1200–1400 Å.
    Notes: Summary The effects of adenohypophysectomy, and of several experimental interventions on the hypothalamo-pituitary-adrenal cortical axis have been studied in relation to the fine structure of the median eminence in the pigeon. 1. In control animals, the following morphological features of the caudal median eminence (C.M.E.) distinguish it from the rostral median eminence (R.M.E.): a) the absence in both external layers of the C.M.E. of large (1,600–1,900 Å) electron-dense granules, b) the presence in the C.M.E. of a small number of medium-size (1,200–1,400 Å) granules, and c) the predominance in the C.M.E. of small (600–800 Å) dense-core vesicles. 2. Adenohypophysectomy leads to: a) almost complete disappearance of electron-dense granules in both external layers of the R.M.E., and b) “emptying” of numerous axons and a relative increase in the number of large (1,600–1,900 Å) granules in the C.M.E. 3. Insulin shock produces modifications similar to those of adenohypophysectomy. The depletion of electron-dense granules from the axons is, however, restricted to the most anterior part of the R.M.E., and, in the C.M.E., the relative increase in the number of larger granules affects the 1,200–1,400 Å and the 1,600–1,900 Å size granules. 4. Metopirone enhances the number of medium-size (1,200–1,400 Å) granules in the external layers of both the R.M.E. and the C.M.E. and causes a significant increase in the number of synaptic-like vesicles in the C.M.E. 5. Prednisolone treatment leads to a marked enrichment of the external layers of the R.M.E. with 1,200–1,400 Å granules, and of the external layers of the C.M.E. with 1,000 Å granules. These results have been discussed with special reference to the hypothalamic control of the adrenocorticotropic function, especially reviewing the role of the 1,200–1,400 Å granules.

    Notes: Summary The Herring bodies in the posterior lobe of the bovine hypophysis are very large (2–600 μ) and can be classified into three types. The type I Herring body contains an accumulation of neurosecretory granules. These Herring bodies are very scarce and should not be confused with the numerous, but small, axonal swellings which also contain neurosecretory granules. The type II Herring body is characterized by the presence of a varying number of normal, moderately electron dense and “empty” vesicles, autophagic vacuoles, multilamellate bodies and occasional mitochondria. These Herring bodies are frequently observed. The type III Herring body is typified by the presence of dense vesicles connected to tubular formations which contain material of variable electron density, of filaments, and of long slender and very numerous mitochondria. The presence of multilamellate bodies and autophagic vacuoles suggests that the type II Herring body is in a degenerating phase. This concept is further substantiated by the similarity between this type of Herring body and transected neurosecretory axons in which degeneration is occurring. A similar comparison suggests that the type III Herring body is undergoing a regenerative process. Our current concept of the structure and function of Herring bodies is revised in the discussion.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Im Anschluß an frühere Beobachtungen über die Reaktion von Herringk: orpern auf osmotische Belastung wurden die Veränderungen dieser Strukturen mit zunehmendem Alter studiert. In parallelen färberisch-lichtmikroskopischen und elektronenmikroskopischen Untersuchungen wurden die im Gebiet der Nuclei supraopticus und paraventricularis gelegenen Herringkörper von jungen (3 Monate) und alten (15–20 Monate) Ratten miteinander verglichen. Bei alten Tieren findet man im Lichtmikroskop eine starke Zunahme der durch Neurosekretfärbung darstellbaren Herringkörper und im Elektronenmikroskop eine Füllung dieser Gebilde mit „dense bodies“ und Myelinkörpern. Diese werden als lysosomale Residualkörper gedeutet, die aus den neurosekretorischen Perikarya in die Zellfortsätze abgeschoben werden und sich dort mit zunehmendem Alter anhäufen. Die fraglichen Zellfortsätze werden aufgrund von morphologischen und topographischen Gesichtspunkten als Dendriten angesehen.
    Notes: Summary In continuation of previous investigations on the reaction of neurosecretory Herring bodies to osmotic stress, the alterations of these structures with increasing age were studied. The Herring bodies located in the vicinity of the supraoptic and paraventricular nucleus of young (3 months) and aged (15–20 months) rats were compared by means of light and electron microscopy. In old rats, the light microscope reveals a strong increase in the number of Herring bodies as visualized by neurosecretory stain whereas the electron microscope exhibits an accumulation of dense bodies and myelinated bodies inside these structures. These are interpreted as lysosomal residual bodies which are transported from the neurosecretory pericarya into the cell processes, thus accumulating with increasing age. Morphological and topographical considerations lead to the assumption that the storage sites are dilatations of dendrites.

    Notes: Summary In the central ganglia of Lymnaea stagnalis neurosecretory cell groups have previously been identified by means of chrome-haematoxylin or paraldehyde-fuchsin stains. In the present study seven types have been distinguished within the class of Gomori-positive cells on the basis of different staining reactions with the alcian blue/alcian yellow technique. Five types are located in the cerebral ganglia and in the lateral lobes, whereas two cell types occur in the ganglia of the visceral ring. No neurosecretory cells have been observed in the buccal and pedal ganglia. The staining technique used proved to be superior to the classic neurosecretory stains, because with this method the secretory substances can easily be distinguished from nonsecretory Gomori-positive tissue constituents. One of the two Gomori-negative neurosecretory cell types of the cerebral ganglia react positively with the alcian blue/alcian yellow technique. In addition, two Gomori-negative neurosecretory cell types, which had not been described before, were identified in the visceral ring. The ultrastructure of the four neurosecretory cell types in the visceral ring is described. The electron microscope revealed that each of the histochemically distinguished secretory substances consists of elementary granules which differ in size and appearance from each other and from the neurosecretory elementary granules which have been described by other authors in the cerebral ganglia and in the lateral lobes. The neurohaemal areas of the neurosecretory cells in the visceral ring are very extensive and include the peripheral parts of the nuchal nerves and of the connectives and nerves of the ganglia of the ring. The perineurium and the adjacent parts of the connective tissue which surround the ganglia, the connectives and the nerves are regarded as additional neurohaemal zones, because in these regions many tiny nerves occur, which consist mainly of neurosecretory axons ending non-synaptically near parts of the vascular system. In the perineurium surrounding the cerebral ganglia and their neurohaemal area a similar network of neurosecretory fibres was observed. Indications of release of the secretory material were regularly observed. Release apparently takes place by exocytosis. A circadian rhythmicity was observed in the release activity of some of the neurosecretory cell types.

    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé L'étude ultra-structurale de l'éminence médiane (E.M.) du Canard, réalisée à l'aide d'une fixation par perfusion intracarotidienne fait apparaître plusieurs traits saillants particulièrement remarquables: a) Dans la couche sous-épendymaire, l'existence de neurones infundibulaires dispersés, de fibres parfois dilatées renfermant des granulations à cœur dense, et de vaisseaux structuralement aptes à drainer des sécrétions. b) Dans la couche fibreuse, la présence d'axones appartenant au faisceau hypothalamopost-hypophysaire, dont les granulations semblent se différencier comme dans la Pars Nervosa. c) Dans la couche palissadique l'existence de trois types de fibres neurosécrétoires au moins: Type 1: Granulations comprises entre 1100 et 1600 Å (avec une subdivision possible: 1100–1300 et 1300–1600 Å), associées éventuellement à des vésicules de 400–600 Å. Type 2: Granulations ≦1000 Å (pouvant être également subdivisées en deux catégories: 800 Å et 1000 Å), avec généralement de nombreuses vésicules de 400 à 600 Å. Type 3: Vésicules de 400 à 600 Å, sans granulations. La différence entre les régions rostrale et caudale de l'E.M. est due essentiellement à une variation dans les proportions relatives de ces différentes catégories axonales, le type 1 étant plus abondant dans la région antérieure, et le type 2 dans la postérieure.
    Notes: Summary Ultra-structural studies, performed after fixation by intracarotidal perfusion, have revealed some peculiar features in the duck median eminence (M.E.): a) Within the subependymal layer, there were scattered neurons belonging to the nucleus infundibularis, axons and varicosities with dense core granules, and capillaries with structural characteristics similar to those in the superficial layer; b) Within the fiber layer, were seen the axons of the hypothalamo-neurohypophysial tract, with granules showing the same differentiation as found within the pars nervosa; c) Within the palisade layer, there was evidence for at least three main types of neurosecretory axons: Type 1 axons, containing granules ranging from 1,100 to 1,600 Å (with a possible subdivision into 1,100–1,300 Å and 1,300–1,600 Å), possibly associated with 400–600 Å vesicles. Type 2 axons, including granules ≦1,000 Å (with a possible subdivision into 800 and 1,000 Å), associated with numerous 400–600 Å vesicles. Type 3 axons, containing 400–600 Å vesicles, but without dense granules. At the ultrastructural level, the main difference between the rostral and caudal M.E. essentially lies in the relative percentage of these 3 axon types. Type 1 axons were found to be more numerous within the anterior M.E., whereas Type 2 axons were more abundant in the caudal region.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Durch Vergleich fluoreszenz- und elektronenmikroskopischer Untersuchungen am zentralen Nervensystem von Planorbarius corneus L. wird nachgewiesen, daß in den Schlundringganglien Neurosekretzellen vorkommen (Nachweis mit Pseudoisocyaninchlorid), die mit Nervenzellen nicht identisch sind, die durch ihren hohen Gehalt an biogenen Aminen auffallen (Nachweis durch die Methode von Falck und Owman, 1965). Es können daher im Schlundring von Planorbarius corneus peptiderge und aminerge Neurosekretzellen unterschieden werden. Die PSC-positiven Neurosekretzellen enthalten elektronendichte Elementargrana und die aminergen Neurone „dense-core“ Vesikel. Der Nachweis biogener Amine in einigen Nervenzellen von Planorbarius corneus spicht für deren chemische Identität mit Transmittersubstanzen, ihre hohe Konzentration aber für eine Abgabe in die Körperflüssigkeit.
    Notes: Summary The neurosecretory system of the snail Planorbarius corneus has been investigated by fluorescence and electron microscopy. With the fluorochrome Pseudoisocyanin the established neurosecretory system in the cerebral ganglia and single neurosecretory cells in the other ganglia show an intensive yellow fluorescence. Electron micrographs reveal the presence of electron dense granules (elementary granules) in the pericarya and the axons of neurones which have the same localisation in the ganglia as the pseudoisocyanin-positive cells. The fluorescence technique for biogenic amines produces yellow and green fluorescence within neurons and in the neuropil and nerves. The fluorescence obtained in determinable areas and neurones correlates well with the electron microscopic location of “dense-core” vesicles within the pericarya and axons of cells in even the same areas. It is discussed, that in this animal both types of cells are so-called “neurosecretory cells”, because the high content of elementary granules in the “peptidergic neurosecretory cells” and of “dense-core” vesicles in the “aminergic neurosecretory cells” is an indication for secretion of these products in neurohaemal areas (circulatory channels).

Er zeigt die typische Gliederung in Kern- und Faserschicht. Die großen unipolaren Ganglienzellen reichen mit kolbenförmigen Ausläufern in das Cölom. Ihre basalen Fortsätze ziehen in die Faserschicht. Cölomepithelzellen liegen den Nervenzellen in unregelmäßigen Abständen als Deckzellen kappenartig auf oder sind als Stützzellen ausgebildet. Deck- und Stützzellen werden als Gliazellen aufgefaßt. Unterhalb der Kernschicht wurden licht- und elektronenmikroskopisch Zellen beobachtet, die für neurosekretorische Elemente gehalten werden. Der Feinbau der erwähnten Zelltypen wird beschrieben und diskutiert. Der histochemische Nachweis auf biogene Amine in Langes Nerv fiel negativ aus.
    Notes: Summary The nerve of Lange, part of the starfish hyponeural nervous system, was investigated with the light-, fluorescence- and electron microscopes in Asterias rubens. It consists of two layers, one containing perikarya, the other fibres. The big nerve cells are unipolar and possess club-shaped processes which extend into the coelom. At their basis, the axon merges into the fibrous layer. Irregularly spaced coelomic epithelial cells cover partly the ganglion cells or constitute supporting elements. Covering and supporting cells are interpreted to represent glia cells. Underneath the perikarya layer, cells have been found by both the light and electron microscopes which are considered to be neurosecretory elements. The fine structure of the various cell types is described and discussed. Histochemical tests for biogenic amines were negative.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Der neurosekretorische Nucleus paraventricularis von Reptilien wurde licht- und elektronenmikroskopisch untersucht. Zellen dieses Kernes bilden ventrikuläre Fortsätze, welche mit knöpfchenförmigen Endigungen — „Liquorkontaktnervenendigungen“ — in das Lumen des 3. Ventrikels vordringen. — Der Nucleus paraventricularis der Sumpfschildkröte (Emys orbicularis) besteht aus einer proximalen, am Ependym liegenden Zelllage und einer distalen Nervenzellgruppe. Zwischen den Zellreihen sind synaptische Zonen vorhanden. Elektronenmikroskopisch weisen die knöpfchenförmigen, mit dem Liquor in Kontakt stehenden Nervenendigungen Elemente des endoplasmatischen Retikulums, freie Ribosomen und eine wechselnde Anzahl von Mitochondrien auf. Die Endigungen enthalten neurosekretorische Elementargranula (Durchmesser 1300–1800 Å) und sind mit atypischen Zilien versehen, zu denen meist zwei Basalkörperchen mit langen Zilienwurzeln gehören. Die Liquorkontakt-Endigungen sind mit den benachbarten Ependymzellen und mitunter untereinander durch Desmosomen verbunden. — Im Lumen des 3. Ventrikels treten auch dünne, Katecholamingranula enthaltende Axone auf, die mit den den Liquor erreichenden Nervenendigungen des Nucleus paraventricularis Synapsen bilden. Synapsen werden außerdem auf den ventrikulären und peripheren Fortsätzen und an den neurosekretorischen Perikaryen beschrieben. In den synaptischen Zonen findet man axodendritische Synapsen, deren Dendrit neurosekretorische Elementargranula enthält. — Die morphologische Ähnlichkeit zwischen neurosekretorischen Liquorkontakt-Nervenendigungen und denen des Liquorkontakt-Neuronensystems wird hervorgehoben. An Hand der Ergebnisse wird die Bedeutung und Funktion der neurosekretorischen, mit dem Liquor in Kontakt tretenden Nervenendigungen im Rahmen des Informationsaustausches zwischen Liquor cerebrospinalis und dem neuroendokrinen System diskutiert.
    Notes: Summary The neurosecretory paraventricular nucleus of reptilia was studied light and electron microscopically. Nerve cells of this nucleus form ventricular processes which as club-like endings — “liquor contacting nerve endings” — protrude into the lumen of the 3rd ventricle. — The paraventricular nucleus of the turtle, Emys orbicularis, is built up of a proximal neuronal layer situated close to the ependyma, and of a distal group of neurons. Synaptic zones can be found between the cell rows. As demonstrated electronmicroscopically, the club-shaped liquor contacting nerve endings show elements of the endoplasmic reticulum, free ribosomes and mitochondria in various amounts. The terminals contain neurosecretory elementary granules (diameter about 1,300–1,800 Å) and bear atypical cilia supplied mostly with two basal bodies and long rootlet fibres. The liquor contacting nerve endings are connected by desmosomes with the neighbouring ependymal cells and sometimes with one another. — In the lumen of the 3rd ventricle, also small axons containing catecholamine granules, can be found. These neurites form synapses with the liquor contacting nerve terminals of the paraventricular nucleus. Furthermore, synapses situated on the ventricular and peripheral nerve processes and on the neurosecretory perikarya, are described. In the synaptic zones, axodendritic synapses occur; the dendrite contains neurosecretory elementary granules. — The morphological similarity between neurosecretory liquor contacting nerve terminals and those of the liquor contacting neuronal system is stressed. On the basis of the results, the significance and function of the neurosecretory liquor contacting terminals is discussed in connection with the exchange of informations between cerebrospinal fluid and the neuroendocrine system.
