The hpg mutant mouse lacks the neurohormone gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) and hence has a reproductive deficit. This deficit can be corrected by placement of normal fetal preoptic area into the third ventricle (see Krieger et al., 1985). We have now used ultrastructural immunocytochemistry to investigate the morphology of GnRH neurons in such intraventricular grafts, the routes that their axons take as they exit into the host, and the neurosecretory terminations that they make in the host median eminence. The GnRH cells in the transplant were similar in morphology to that reported for such cells in the preoptic area of other rodents. There was a large central nucleus, frequently indented and containing 1 or 2 nucleoli. The thin rim of cytoplasm was filled with rough endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi stacks, and mitochondria. Both dendritic and axonal profiles were identified, and a modest synaptic input to the former was found. Between the host and the implant a complex multilayered ependymal zone developed, and it was through this region that GnRH axons exited into the host arcuate nucleus and median eminence, usually surrounded by ependymal or glial elements. Within the median eminence, GnRH terminals were in close association with fenestrated blood vessels forming a normal neurosecretory terminus.
