RESUMO:

The nitric oxide (NO) is a gas that can works as a neurotransmitter, regulating synaptic events and functions as learning and memory. In the nervous system NO is synthesized by the neuronal nitric oxide synthase (nNOS). The NO is produced mainly after activation of the glutamate receptors or by opening of calcium gates voltage-dependent. Its effects depends basically of the activation of guanilate cyclase in the target cell. We used immunohistochemistry anti-nNOS and histochemistry to NADPH-diaphorase aiming to investigate the distribution of nitrergic neurons in the telencephalon of the rock cavy (Kerodon rupestris). The data shows a heterogenic distribution of nNOS-immunoreactive neurons or neurons with NADPH-diaphorase activity throughout the telencephalon. The staining was weak in the central nucleus of the amygdala, claustrum and diagonal band of Broca; moderate in the medial and basomedial nuclei of the amygdala, ventral part of the lateral division of the bed nucleus of the stria terminalis; and strong in the basolateral nucleus of the amygdala, dorsolateral division of the lateral nucleus of the amygdala, ventral part of the medial division and posterior part of the lateral division of the bed núcleus of the stria terminalis, accumbens, caudado-putamen and innominata substance. Low or very low density was seen in the endopiriform nucleus, core of the accumbens, striatum, diagonal band of Broca, innominata substance, central, anterior basomedial and ventral basolateral nuclei of the amygdala. A moderately density was seen in the anteroventral division of the medial nucleus of the amygdala, posterior division of the basolateral nucleus of the amygdala, intermediate division of the endopiriforme nucleus and lateral division of the shell of the accumbens. A highly density of immunostained nNOS was seen in the Shell of the accumbens, anterior part of the medial division and ventral part of the lateral division of the bed nucleus of the stria terminalis, and the anterodorsal division of the medial nucleus of the amygdala. We expect to analyze more data and finish the mapping of the distribution of the nNOS in the rock cavy's telencephalon.
