AB  - Processes of magnocellular neurosecretory cells (MNCs) are easily identifiable on 
      the basis of their content in neurosecretory granules in the neuropil of the 
      rostral division of the paraventricular nucleus (PVN) of the domestic fowl. In 
      specimens sacrificed during the winter the synaptic organization of the neuropil 
      and the pattern of synapses ending on neurosecretory processes were studied at 
      the ultrastructural level. Synapses in the rostral part of the PVN neuropil may 
      be divided into three main categories on the basis of their morphology and their 
      content of clear and dense-core synaptic vesicles. These different types of 
      terminals can be attributed to aminergic, peptidergic or other types of synapses. 
      The percent distribution of synapses within these categories differs when all 
      synapses observed in the neuropil or only those ending on MNC processes are 
      compared. Present ultrastructural data obtained in birds support two 
      physiological hypotheses already suggested for mammals, i.e., the probable 
      existence of a recurrent pathway to MNCs via an interneuron, and the importance 
      of aminergic and peptidergic input in regulating the electrical activity ov MNCs.
