Regional distribution of substance P within the amygdaloid complex and bed nucleus of the stria terminals.
The distribution of substance P (SP) within the amygdaloid complex and bed nucleus of the stria terminalis has been studied using a sensitive radioimmunoassay. Particularly high levels of SP were found in the medial nucleus of the amygdala. Large amounts of SP were also found in the various subdivisions of the bed nucleus. These results are in good agreement with immunohistochemical data.
