Distribution of catecholamine fibers in the cochlear nucleus of horseshoe bats and mustache bats

The glyoxylic‐acid‐induced fluorescence technique was applied to demonstrate patterns of catecholaminergic innervation within the auditory brainstem of echolocating bats and the house mouse. In the cochlear nucleus of the rufous horseshoe bat (Rhinolophus rouxi) and the mustache bat (Pteronotus parnelli), species‐specific catecholaminergic innervation patterns are found that contrast with the relatively homogeneous innervation in the rodent.
