The synaptic relationship between substance P (SP) and its receptor, i.e., neurokinin-1 receptor (NK1R), was examined in the striatum of the rat by confocal laser-scanning microscopy and electron microscopy. For confocal laser-scanning microscopy, triple-immunofluorescence histochemistry was perform

Primary afferent neurons containing substance P (SP) are apparently implicated in the transmission of noxious information from the periphery to the central nervous system, and SP released from primary afferent neurons acts on second-order neurons with the SP receptor (SPR). In the rat, nociceptive i
The cellular and subcellular localization of the mGluR5 metabotropic glutamate receptor subtype was studied in the rat cerebellar cortex, by using the preembedding immunoperoxidase and immunogold techniques. Light microscopic observations revealed an abundant, intense labeling of neurons in the gra
The low-affinity neurotrophin receptor p75 NTR , or p75, is a 75-kDa cell surface glycoprotein that binds all neurotrophins with similar affinity and is thought to help to ensure the specificity of each neurotrophin. In order to better understand the role of p75 and how it is involved in the neurotr
Localization of metabotropic glutamate receptor subtypes, mGluR1, mGluR1β£, mGluR2/3, mGluR4a, mGluR5, mGluR7a, mGluR7b, and mGluR8, was examined in some of the target areas of projection fibers from the main and accessory olfactory bulbs (MOB and AOB) by using subtype-specific antibodies. The superf
