Annotation: Material for the analysis of the chemoarchitecture of the PHA was prepared by incubating coronal series (n=10) in antisera generated against neuropeptide Y (Peninsula, CA), met-enkephalin (Incstar, Stillwater, MN), tyrosine hydroxylase (Eugene Tech, Ramsey, NJ), gamma-aminobytyric acid (Eugene Tech), glutamic acid decarboxylase (Eugene Tech), glutamate (Sigma), 5-hydroxy-tryptamine (Incstar), dopamine-b-hydroxylase (Incstar), melanin concentrating hormone (Sawchenko), or hypocretin (van den Pol).

Anatomy and histology
Section plane: coronalAngle: not specifiedCutting method: microtome Preservation: freezing Thickness: 30 micrometer
Staining type: cresyl violet Sampling: 1:10 Annotation: Following cryoprotection, the brain was cut at 30 micrometers on a freezing microscope....A second bin for select cases was processed for DAB immunohistochemistry...with the addition of a cresyl violet counterstain prior to coverslipping.
