The preoptic nucleus is homologous to the mammalian supraoptic and paraventricular nuclei, and contains one of the largest collections of CRH neurons in the amphibian brain. |

Dehydration and rehydration selectivety and reversibility alter glial fibrillary acidic protein immunoreactivity in the rat supraoptic nucleus and adjacent glial limitans. |
|
An oxytocin receptor antagonist infused into the supraoptic nucleus attenuates intranuclear and peripheral release of oxytocin during suckling in conscious rats. |
