title: The neuropeptides in the acoustic cortex. I. Substance P.
abstract: Peptides are the most recently studied chemical category of neurotransmitters. Most of them are found located in special diencephalic neurons and in some cortical areas serving as transmitters for specific synaptic junctions. In the human acoustic cortex we tried to identify substance P which may participate in the synaptic transmission at the various morphological types of synapses.
