Using the indirect immunofluorescent technique, corticotropin releasing factor (CRF)-like
immunoreactive nerve fibers and cell bodies were observed to be widely distributed in rat
brain. A detailed stereotaxic atlas of CRF-like immunoreactive neurons was prepared. Large
numbers of CRF-containing perikarya were observed in the nucleus paraventricularis, with
scattered cells in the following nuclei: accumbens, interstitialis stria terminalis, preopticus
medialis, supraopticus, periventricularis hypothalami, amygdaloideus centralis …
