Cytology and distribution in normal human cerebral cortex of neurons immunoreactive with antisera against neuropeptide Y.
Journal of Comparative Neurology 1985 August 23
The frontal, parietal, and temporal cortices in normal human brains (Brodmann areas 10, 7a, 7b, and 21) are well endowed with numerous neurons, identifiable by immunoreactivity with antisera against the 36-amino acid brain peptide neuropeptide Y (NPY). These neurons with rare exception are small, intracortical, nonspiny neurons, 12-20 microns in somatic size, with long slender dendrites and exuberant axon plexuses exhibiting finely beaded varicosities. The cells are rarest in layers I and II, are found with frequency in the lower cortical layers (IV-VI) and in significant numbers in the subcortical white matter. Within the cortex the axonal plexuses of these peptide neurons rise straight up into the upper cortical layers or descend deep into the white matter. In layers I and II, numerous other lengthy axons, some possibly of extracortical afferent origin, run along the pial surface at right angles to the axial ones running perpendicular to the cortex. This endowment of peptide neurons and their processes forms a rich network in the cerebral cortex, relating with one another in complex fashion within palisades of terminals as well as with the other cortical neurons not labeled by these methods. It remains to be shown what functions these NPY neurons have individually and in their remarkable networks, and how they are altered in neurological disease.
