Microbial degradation of tetraethyl lead in soil monitored by microcalorimetry

Fos immunohistochemistry was used to stain neurons in the caudal diencephalon, midbrain and hindbrain driven by rewarding stimulation of the lateral hypothalamus (LH). Increases in Fos-like immunoreactivity were most pronounced ipsilateral to the site of stimulation and tended to be confined within discrete structures such as the posterior LH, arcuate nucleus, ventral tegmental area (VTA), central gray, dorsal raphé, pedunculopontine area (PPTg), parabrachial nucleus, and locus coeruleus. At least two of these structures, the VTA and PPTg, have been implicated in medial forebrain bundle self-stimulation.
