Abstract
The pancreatic hormone amylin inhibits food intake activating neurons in the area postrema (AP) of the brainstem. This excitation is transmitted via neuronal projections to the nucleus of the solitary tract (NTS). Amylin also acts as growth factor in bone cells, pancreatic islets and the kidney. The current study explored whether amylin exerts neurotrophic effects during early brain development that may contribute to the growth of neuronal pathways originating in the AP. The lipophilic tracer DiI was used to analyze AP-NTS projections
