Abstract
The distribution of serotonin-containing neurons in the brain of the dog was studied by use of PAP immunohistochemistry. The lower brain stem was endowed with extensively scattered serotonergic cell bodies, a large portion of which was located in the raphe nuclei. At the same time, prominent distribution of serotonergic neurons in lateral areas outside the raphe nuclei was also demonstrated. Our observations on the brain stem were, in principle, consistent with those on rats, cats and monkeys, with only minor differences.Keywords
