Abstract
LHRH-containing neurons were detected in the dorsal part of the hippocmpus and in the indusium griseum of the rat. LHRH-containing nerve fibers interconnect the organum subfornicale (OSF) and the dorsal hippocampus. Axons leaving the OSF can be traced backwards, then around the splenium of the corpus callosum, from where they run forwards in the stria longitudinalis medialis (SLM). LHRH fibers of the SLM give axon collaterals to the cingulate cortex, then intermingle with the LHRH system of the septum pellucidum. Following coronal transection of the SLM, it could be determined that LHRH fibers form bidirectional connection between the septum and different regions of the hippocampus.
