Journal ArticleDOI
Immunohistochemical evidence for the existence of adrenaline neurons in the rat brain
TL;DR: The hypothesis is given that the PNMT containing neurons represent A containing neurons, and that A may act as a neurotransmitter in the rat brain.
Journal ArticleDOI
A subpopulation of mesencephalic dopamine neurons projecting to limbic areas contains a cholecystokinin-like peptide: Evidence from immunohistochemistry combined with retrograde tracing
T. Ho¨kfelt,T. Ho¨kfelt,L. Skirboll,J.F. Rehfeld,J.F. Rehfeld,Menek Goldstein,Menek Goldstein,K. Markey,K. Markey,O. Dann,O. Dann +10 more
TL;DR: The findings demonstrate the coexistence of a cholecystokinin-like peptide and dopamine in a population of mesencephalic neurons projecting to limbic areas.
Journal ArticleDOI
Demonstration of central γ-aminobutyrate-containing nerve terminals by means of antibodies against glutamate decar☐ylase
M. Pe´rez de la mora,Lourival D. Possani,Ricardo Tapia,L. Teran,R. Palacios,Kjell Fuxe,T. Ho¨kfelt,Åke Ljungdahl +7 more
TL;DR: The findings underline the existence of a new type of γ-aminobutyrate-containing Golgi type I neuron, controlling activity in the substantia innominata and in the outflow from Calleja's islands of the olfactory tubercle and the view that γ -aminobUTyrate may play a role in synaptic processes in all parts of the brain and the spinal cord.
Journal ArticleDOI
The effects of intrathecal galanin and C-fiber stimulation on the flexor reflex in the rat.
TL;DR: The results illustrate the complex effect of GAL on the spinal cord, possibly exhibiting a biphasic effect and the possibility that the observed effects are related to primary sensory afferents containing not only GAL but also CGRP, and/or to local GAL neurons in the dorsal horn is discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Substance P-containing primary sensory neurons projecting to the inferior mesenteric ganglion: evidence from combined retrograde tracing and immunohistochemistry.
TL;DR: It is suggested that substance P can be released from peripheral, sensory nerve endings, inducing changes in the membrane potential of sympathetic neurons, strongly supporting the view that at least some of the substance P fibres in the inferior mesenteric ganglion are of sensory nature.
