- W959395936 abstract "The sex differences that are found in neuronal connectivity suggest that such differences may also be expected with respect to the neurotransmitter content measured within sexually dimorphic areas. This chapter discusses the various aspects of the study of sex differences in neurotransmitter systems, and the vasopressin innervation of the brain is discussed as an example of the use of immunocytochemistry in studying sex differences. Several methods have been developed for studying the anatomy of neurotransmitter systems: (i) the histofluorescent demonstration of the indolamines and catecholamines, (ii) enzymes histochemical procedures for cholinergic neurotransmitter pathways, and (iii) immunocytochemistry, which is potentially the most versatile method, because it does not depend on the detailed knowledge of either the chemical nature or the metabolizing enzymes for a given neurotransmitter. Studies of the vasopressinergic innervation of the brain have demonstrated that immunocytochemistry in conjunction with tracing and lesion studies forms a powerful tool to study the anatomical background of a particular sex difference. However, one major problem of immunocytochemical methods is that it is difficult to raise an antiserum, which is directed specifically against a single antigen, which makes it necessary to extensively test all sera and, if necessary, to purify them. An advantage of the application of immunocytochemistry is that it can readily be combined with other techniques, for example, with steroid receptor labeling. The study of the neurotransmitter content of the various components of a given sexually dimorphic system can also help to elucidate its functional significance, if only because the knowledge about the neurotransmitters involved makes it possible to use pharmacological tools, such as local administration of specific agonists or antagonists." @default.
