Enkephalin-, substance P- and serotonin-like immunoreactive axonal varicosities in close apposition to perikarya of mesencephalic trigeminal nucleus neurons in the cat.
A light microscopic study in adult cats provided evidence suggesting that neuronal cell bodies of mesencephalic trigeminal nucleus neurons were often in direct contact with axonal varicosities showing enkephalin-, substance P- or serotonin-like immunoreactivity.
