—Intravenous injection of a large dose of 6‐hydroxydopamine (100 mg/kg) to adult rats caused a significant and long‐lasting reduction (about 30 per cent) of the in oirro uptake of [3H]NA in the cerebral cortex and spinal cord, while no changes were seen in the hypothalamus. The endogenous NA in whole brain was similarly reduced (about 20 per cent). Fluorescence histochemistry revealed catecholamine accumulations which are degenerative signs, induced by 6‐hydroxydopamine, in axons of the dorsal NA bundle innervating the cerebral cortex. It is concluded that the blood–brain barrier in adult rats is not completely protective with respect to the neurotoxic action of systemically injected 6‐hydroxydopamine, which can produce degeneration of a significant number of NA nerve terminals in the cerebral cortex and spinal cord. Previous studies have shown that 6‐hydroxydopamine caused a permanent and selective degeneration of a large number of central NA nerve terminals when injected systemically up to 1 week after birth, due to an incompletely developed blood‐brain barrier. This barrier for 6‐hydroxydopamine develops between the 7th and 9th day after birth (Sachs, 1973). In the present study 6‐hydroxydopamine was found to cause a small transient reduction in [3H]NA uptake in cerebral cortex of rats between 9 and 28 days of age, while in older rats the damage produced by 6‐hydroxydopamine was long‐lasting. Thus, the NA nerves ascending to the cerebral cortex seem to possess a regenerative capacity to a 6‐hydroxydopamine‐induced degeneration up to about 28 days postnatally, but which later disappears or is markedly retarded.
