Immunocytochemical Delineation of Thyrotrophic Area: Origin of Thyrotropin-Releasing Hormone in the Median Eminence is a research paper published in Neuroendocrinology (2008). On theSindex it has a DataRank of 3.0. It has been cited 67 times, with 65 citing works in its 1-hop citation network. Its calibrated FAIR score is 49/100.
To identify the specific thyrotropin-releasing hormone(TRH)-containing neurons projecting to the median eminence (ME), a retrograde tracing method with horseradish peroxidase (HRP) was combined with immunocytochemical staining for TRH. Three days after HRP injection restricted to the ME, several TRH-positive neuronal perikarya were found to contain HRP. Such double-stained cells were exclusively distributed in the anterior parts of the periventricular nucleus and the most medial parts of the paraventricular nucleus. Few double-stained cells were observed in other parts of the brain examined. The present observations appear to demonstrate that the specific TRH neurons projecting to the ME are located along the border of the third ventricle, anterior to the ME.

Base Score Contribution
0.633
From this paper's citation signal
Citation Network Contribution
2.3
From 60 citing papers with measurable signal
DataRank blends this paper's own citation count with the influence of the papers that cite it. Here, roughly 21% comes from its base citations and 79% from the citation network (60 citing papers contributed measurable signal).
Citers are pulled from OpenAlex sorted by cited_by_count:descand capped per paper, so when the cap binds we keep the highest-signal references and the score is reproducible across reruns.
