The rostral ventrolateral medulla (RVLM) contains barosensitive, bulbospinal neurons that provide the main supraspinal excitatory input to sympathetic vasomotor preganglionic neurons. However, the phenotype of the critical RVLM cells has not been conclusively determined. The goal of the current stud

## Abstract Many sympathetic preganglionic neurons (SPN) in the intermediolateral cell column (IML) contain cocaine‐ and amphetamine‐regulated transcript (CART), but the function of these CART‐immunoreactive (IR) neurons is unknown. To test the possibility that CART might mark SPN involved in cardi
Cocaine and amphetamine regulated transcript (CART) encodes a novel brain-enriched protein whose features are reminiscent of a neurotransmitter propeptide. We have now localized CART peptide(s) in the gastrointestinal tract by immunohistochemical methods. Polyclonal antisera raised to CART peptide 1
