neuron | trigeminal neuron, the majority of pChAT-positive neurons has small to medium-sized cell bodies. More than 90% of substance P (SP)-positive trigeminal cells and about 80% of calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP)-positive cells exhibited pChAT-immunoreactivity. pChAT-positive cells form a larger population of neurons than SP-positive or CGRP-positive cells, but they are a different population from calbindin-D28k-positive neurons. pChAT-immunoreactivity is present in a subset of neurons positive for neuronal nitric oxide synthase. pChAT plays roles not only in nociception, but also in other sensory functions such as mechanoreception mediating tactile sensation | Rattus norvegicus | - |
