In anamniote vertebrates the central region of the spinal cord has been implicated in its regeneration. This is a complex region and so as a first step in understanding its possible regenerative role we have examined the organization of the cells that contact the lumen of the spinal cord in two teleost fishes, eel and trout, using immunohistochemical procedures and light and electron microscopy. Cell bodies immunoreacting positively with antibodies for tyrosine hydroxylase and for dopamine were located at the ventral rim of the central canal, whereas cell bodies reacting for an antibody for gamma-aminobutyric acid were more laterally located. None of the canal-contacting cells were positively immunoreactive for choline acetyltransferase. All immunopositive cells have a similar morphology: the amphora-shaped perikaryon is bipolar and has a single process that extends to the lumen of the canal, and another that branches and forms extensive lateral and ventral plexuses. Electron microscopic investigations of the ventral dopaminergic cells showed that the apical processes bear one or more cilia, which protrude into the canal lumen and which originate from within a superficial rosette of nonciliated processes. The ventral process was occasionally seen to form synapses; the cell body was also the target of synapses.
