Oxytocin was applied iontophoretically to the cell membrane of neurons in the paraventricular (PV) and supraoptic (SO) nuclei of the hypothalamus. Oxytocin excited the majority of PV units which could be activated antidromically by stimulation of the neural lobe but failed to excite PV neurons which could not be identified in this way and cells in the SO nucleus, cortex, and thalamus. Vasopressin had no excitatory effects either on the PV nucleus or the SO nucleus. Intravenous injections of oxytocin did not affect the firing rates of PV nucleus units, so it is hard to find a physiological meaning for these observations. However, the need to prevent such excitation may go some way to explain the elaborate neurophysin-packaging system associated with oxytocin synthesis and transport.
