Evidences for the coexistence of substance P, neurotensin and calcitonin gene-related peptide in single neurons of the external subdivision of the lateral parabrachial nucleus of the rat.
Immunocytochemical double staining analysis revealed that most of the substance P-like immunoreactive neurons in the external subdivision of the lateral parabrachial nucleus of the rat contained neurotensin. Immunohistochemical staining of alternate consecutive sections showed that many of these neurons also contained calcitonin gene-related peptide.
