✦ Synopsis

Rat spinal neurons expressing lectin RL-29 are visualized immunohistochemically. RL-29 immunoreactive (RL-29 IR) neurons are found in the lateral parts of laminae V-VII, designated as the intermediolateral cell column (IML) in the thoracic cord, the sacral parasympathetic nucleus (SPN) in the lumbosacral cord, and the dorsomedial nucleus (DMN) of the ventral horn. The majority of RL-29 IR neurons in the SPN are also labeled by a retrograde tracer DAPI applied to the cut L6-S1 ventral roots. These data indicate that the majority of RL-29 IR neurons in the SPN are autonomic preganglionic neurons, thus suggesting that RL-29 can be a useful tool in marking this subpopulation of neurons. In addition, the presence of previously described RL-29 IR primary afferent fibers and terminals in the dorsal parts of the cord are confirmed.

## Abstract It is recognised that selective activation of different target‐specific sympathetic preganglionic neurones forms the basis of many autonomic responses. The anatomical basis for this could be the spatial arrangement of these neurones in the spinal cord nuclei. The present study tested th

The cellular distribution of the type 3 serotonin receptor (5HT 3 R) in the rat brain was established immunocytochemically by using a polyclonal antibody raised against a synthetic peptide from the deduced amino-acid sequence of the cloned 5HT 3 R. The 5HT 3 Rimmunoreactive neurons were found in the
