Annotation: A total of 30 adult male rats, consisting of 4 different groups was used. The first was made up of 13 normal male Sprague-Dawley rats. 5 of them received colchicine into the lateral cerebral ventricle, 4 received intracisternal colchicine.

Annotation: The production and characterization of the AII antiserum (Rabbit DE) are described in detail elsewhere [8,58]. For all of our experiments it was used at a dilution of 1:2,500 and the secondary antiserum, affinity-purified goat-anti-rabbit conjugated to fluorescein isothycyanate (Tago), was used at a dilution of 1:200. To demonstrate specificity of immunohistochemical staining, all of the major cell groups and fiber systems described below were examined with anitserum that was blocked by liquid-phase absorption. The same solid-pahse adsorption technique was used to demonstrate an absence of crossreactivity between the anti-AII serum and vasopressin in the hypothalamus and basal telencephalon.
