Substance P-immunoreactive neurons in the neocortex of the rat: a subset of the glutamic acid decarboxylase-immunoreactive neurons.
Substance P-immunoreactive (SP-IR) neurons are found throughout the layers of the rat neocortex. Within the somatosensory (SI) cortex these cells make up about 2% of all neurons and within area 17 about 3%. Colocalization studies reveal that the SP-IR neurons are a subset of the population immunoreactive for glutamic acid decarboxylase.
