High impact information on Tuber Cinereum

A computed tomographic metrizamide cisternogram showed a pedunculated mass below the tuber cinereum; the mass was resected [1].
Extracellular action potentials meeting the criteria of antidromic invasion from neurohypophysial stalk stimulation were recorded from 135 neurons in the tuberal portion of the supraoptic nucleus, which lies superficially along the tuber cinereum and consists of mostly vasopressin-containing neurons [2].
At 6-9 months after two i.p. injections, the brain of MO br/Y revealed slightly increased amounts of lipofuscin pigments in the cerebral cortical neurons, cytoplasmic inclusions in the thalamic neurons, and axonal spheroid formation in the tuber cinereum, cerebellum and brain stem [3].
In the hypothalamus, the somatostatin perikarya are located in and near the magnocellular preoptic nucleus and also in the pars ventralis of the tuber cinereum [4].
The girl was treated with monthly gonadotropin-releasing hormone analogue injections until 6 years of age, when magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) demonstrated a pedunculated isodense mass below the tuber cinereum [5].
