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

โฆ Synopsis
Substance P (SP)-ergic neurons from 16/17 day-embryonic rat brain stem in primary culture were identified by immunocytochemistry using biotinylated avidine and phosphatase alcaline methods with affinity-purified anti-SP antibodies. An average of 84% of neurons contained SP from day 9 to day 21 after plating. These in vitro data show that SP-containing neurons develop in our culture conditions. SP may act as a maturation factor as well as a neurotransmitter.

The rodent retina undergoes considerable postnatal neurogenesis and phenotypic differentiation, and it is likely that diffusible neurotrophic factors contribute to this development and to the subsequent formation of functional retinal circuitry.

It is well known that striatonigral neurons produce substance P (SP); however, no SP receptor (SPR) has so far been found in the substantia nigra. On the other hand, a previous study in the rat striatum indicated that SPR was expressed only in cholinergic or somatostatinergic intrinsic neurons (Kane
