Coexistence of neuropeptides in projection neurons of the thalamus in the cat

Brain Res. 1985 Nov 18;347(2):381-4. doi: 10.1016/0006-8993(85)90204-5.

Abstract

Coexistence of neuropeptides was suggested by double-staining immunohistochemistry in projection neurons in the thalamus of the cat; cholecystokinin (CCK)-like immunoreactivity (LI) and vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP)-LI in the rostral group of the intralaminar nuclei, CCK-LI and neurotensin (NT)-LI in the anterodorsal nucleus and NT-LI and VIP-LI in the laterodorsal nucleus.
