A morphometric and microdensitometric characterization of the dopamine neurons of the
mediobasal hypothalamus and their relationships with several other chemically identified
systems, including putative tyrosine hydroxylase-positive/dopamine-negative neurons, was
carried out after visualization of dopamine content by both immunocytochemistry and the
Falck-Hillarp technique. Quantitative assessment of co-existence demonstrated that more
than 95% of dopamine-immunoreactive neurons also contained tyrosine hydroxylase …
