The co-localization patterns of catecholamine varicosities and peptide-specific neuronal perikarya were assessed within the supraoptic and paraventricular nuclei in the rhesus monkey, Macaca mulatta. Formaldehyde-induced histofluorescence was coupled with the unlabelled antibody technique for the demonstration of neuropeptides. Hormone-specific neurophysin staining served to identify vasopressin and oxytocin-containing neurons in these hypothalamic nuclei. Catecholamine varicosities were seen in juxtaposition to vasopressin- and oxytocin-containing perikarya and proximal dendrites. The densest catecholamine innervation patterns were seen in the ventrolateral portion of the supraoptic nucleus; the dorsomedial portion of this nucleus received a considerably less dense innervation pattern. Oxytocin neurons were clustered in this relatively catecholamine poor region, whereas the vasopressin-containing neurons were more abundantly found in the catecholamine rich region. The paraventricular nucleus presented a considerably more complex pattern, perhaps reflecting the more diverse organization of this nucleus. Nevertheless, some separation of the oxytocin neurons, in a region less densely innervated by catecholamine varicosities, was noted. These observations confirm our earlier reports, in rat hypothalamus, that the norepinephrine innervation of the hypothalamic magnocellular neurons as seen with catecholamine histofluorescence favors the vasopressin-containing neurons over those located within the same nuclei which synthesize another neurohyphysial principal, oxytocin.
