Localization of calcitonin gene-related peptide in the vestibular end-organs in the rat: an immunohistochemical study.
The present immunocytochemical study has demonstrated the presence of a dense fiber plexus containing calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) in the vestibular end-organs in the rat. These fibers appear to originate from the central nervous system.
