Abstract
The objective of the present investigation is a comprehensive survey of the cellular processes related to the formation of neurosecretory material. Paraventricular and supraoptic nuclei of the rat were examined under normal conditions, after withdrawal of water for 1—14 days, and in the following recovery period. Morphological techniques (staining for Nissl and neurosecretory substance) as well as functional methods (histochemical vizualisation of hydrolytic and oxidative enzymes, autoradiographic estimation of protein turnover) were used. The results apply to both hypothalamic nuclei with the exception of the autoradiographic measurements (supraoptic nucleus only).
