Abstract:ABSTRACT. Substance P-immunoreactive neurons projecting from the midbrain to the spinal cord of the chicken were examined by the use of the retrograde tract-tracing method combined with immunohistochemical techniques. Many small neurons were densely clustered in the rostral midline area of the midbrain (RMA), and showed substance P-immunoreactivity. These substance P-immunoreactive neurons sent axons to the intermediomedial cell column (avian autonomic preganglion) and its vicinity in the lumbar spinal segment… Show more
