Abstract:
The change of neuropeptide Y (NPY)-immunoreactive (IR) neurons in the rat main olfactory bulb as a result of aging was investigated at several aging stages over a two-year period; postnatal 1-24 months (P 1-P 24). From P 1 to P 12, the number of NPY-IR neurons and fibers increased with highest number in P 12, and the type of NPY-IR neurons had changed from bipolar neurons with short processes to bipolar/multipolar neurons with long processes. At P 24 the population of NPY-IR neurons and fibers had significantly decreased. Furthermore, the morphology of NPY-IR neurons showed a tendency to decrease in size and processes. It is suggested that the decrease of the number and size of NPY-IR neurons and fibers may underlie the age-related changes in the olfactory processes.
