Neural structures containing luteinizing hormone-release hormone (LHRH) are characterized in adult ewe and female lamb brains. Three anti-LHRH antisera are used in an immunofluorescent or immunoperoxidase method. On our preparations, all three gave the same results, expressed as number of labelled cells (about 2500 in a whole brain). It was found that 95% of the LHRH-immunoreactive cells are located in the preoptico-hypothalamic area, where cell bodies are localized mainly (50%) in the area surrounding the organum vasculosum of the lamina terminalis (OVLT); they are also found in a more anterior section of the medial part of the olfactory tubercle and the medial septum (14%), in a more posterior situation in the anterior and lateral hypothalamus (16%), and in the mediobasal hypothalamus (15%). Fibres originating in various part of the whole preoptico-hypothalamic group reach the OVLT and the median eminence. The remaining cells (5%) and fibres are found in various tel-, di-, and mesencephalic areas.
