The presence of rhodopsin was investigated by an indirect immunocytochemical method in the pineal complex of various vertebrates (Carassius auratus, Cyprinus carpio, Hypophthalamichthys molitrix, Lucioperca lucioperca, Triturus vulgaris, Bombina bombina, Rana esculenta, Pseudemys scripta elegans, Lacerta agilis et viridis, white leghorn chickens, rat), in the retina of Lebistes reticulatus, Lucioperca lucioperca, Rana esculenta, Lacerta agilis, Pseudemys scripta elegans, the chicken and the rat, and the cerebrospinal (CSF) contacting neurons of Triturus vulgaris. The outer segments of the photoreceptor terminals of the pineal organ, frontal organ, parapineal organ of lower vertebrates and of the retina of the species investigated, were intensely stained with the antirhodopsin reaction. There was no significant positivity in the pineal organ of the reptiles, the chicken and the rat, and the parietal eye of the lizards. We failed to demonstrate any immunoreactive staining in the CSF contacting neurons of various hypothalamic areas and of the spinal cord. The light microscopic immunocytochemical results seem to contradict a photoreceptive role of the CSF contacting neurons and strengthen the view that the receptory cells of the pineal complex of lower vertebrates are involved in light perception by means of the visual pigment rhodopsin.
