The organization of afferents to the pituitary was investigated by applying DiI crystals to the pituitary or pituitary stalk of the gymnotiform electric fish, Apteronotus leptorhynchus. Most hypophysiotrophic cells were found in the hypothalamus and were distributed throughout its rostrocaudal extent: nucleus preopticus periventricularis, pars anterior and posterior; suprachiasmatic nucleus; anterior, dorsal, ventral, lateral, and caudal hypothalamic nuclei; and nucleus tuberis lateralis, pars anterior and posterior. In addition a small number of retrogradely labeled cells were found in the ventral telencephalon (area ventralis, pars ventralis) and, most surprisingly, in a thalamic nucleus (nucleus centralis posterioris). The nucleus preopticus periventricularis pars posterior and the anterior hypothalamic nucleus appear to correspond to the parvicellular and magnocellular divisions of the nucleus preopticus of other teleosts. Integration of these results with immunohistochemical localization of monoamines and neuropeptides in the apteronotid brain suggests many homologies between the hypophysiotrophic nuclei of teleosts and other vertebrates, including mammals. Apteronotus communicates electrically during agonistic and sexual interactions. There are numerous anatomical links between the hypophysiotrophic systems and the brain areas related to electrocommunication.
