The development of the specialized linings of the hypothalamic 3rd ventricle was examined autoradiographically in mature rats that were labeled with 3H-thymidine during the developmental period and in a closely spaced series of embryonic and infant rats. In mature rats, apart from the typical ependymal wall, 3 specialized linings were distinguished: the convoluted ependyma, the laminated epithelium and the tanycytic epithelium. The ventricular wall of most of the anterior hypothalamus and of the dorsal portion of the posterior hypothalamus is composed of ciliated ependymal cells, most of which are generated several days before birth, soon after the cessation of neurogenesis in the adjacent hypothalamic nuclei. The cells of the rostral convoluted ependyma adjacent to the paraventricular nucleus are produced at about the same time as the neighboring cells of the smooth ependyma. Its cells come from the same germinal region that apparently generates the neurons of the magnocellular neurohypophysial secretory system. The structural differentiation of the convoluted ependyma starts after birth and is completed by the beginning of the 2nd wk. Many of the ependymal cells of the laminated epithelium are produced postnatally and the production of the specialized cells that form a parallel subependymal row extends into the 3rd wk. These cells appear to arise from the same matrix that earlier generates the neurons of the dorsomedial and ventromedial hypothalamic nuclei. Their structural differentiation begins during the 2nd wk. The cells of the tanycytic epithelium are mostly produced postnatally, predominantly during the 1st wk. They appear to arise from the same matrix that generated earlier the neurons of the hypophysiotropic tuberomammillary and arcuate nuclei. These 3 specialized ventricular linings apparently are specifically related to the 3 components of the endocrine hypothalamus with which they shared neuroepithelial sites of origin.
