Pons-medulla

Figure 8.2 The distribution of noradrenergic neurons in the brain. The cell bodies are clustered in nuclei (A1 A7) in the pons/medulla regions of the brainstem and their axons project both rostrally and caudally to most regions of the neuraxis. The major nucleus is the locus coeruleus...

Histamine-stimulated adenylate cyclase activity is observed in only three of the regions so far examined in guinea-pig brain, namely hippocampus, cerebral cortex and striatum, and no effect has been observed in cerebellum, hypothalamus, thalamus, midbrain and pons-medulla [179]. Interestingly, this is exactly the distribution of H2-receptors deduced from binding studies with [3H]tiotidine [133].

In mice, striatal dopamine was depleted in a dose-dependent manner following single intraperitoneal doses of 3-6 mg ochratoxin A/kg bw. Oxidative stress, oxidative DMA damage and a transient inhibition of oxidative DMA repair were also seen in the cerebellum, cortex, hippocampus, midbrain, caudate/putamen and pons/medulla (Sava et al., 2006).

Hemorrhagic lesions in the brain (pons, medulla, and cerebellum) of rats and pigeons have also been described by Prickett and by Church. Zimmerman and Alexander believe that the lesions of Wernicke s disease in the human central nervous system are identical with those of vitamin Bi deficiency.
