  • Title: Distribution of vasoactive intestinal peptide- and peptide histidine isoleucine amide-like immunoreactive neurons and fibers in the thoracic spinal cord of the rat.
    Author: Sasek CA, Baldwin C, Zigmond RE.
    Journal: Brain Res; 1991 Dec 13; 567(1):159-64. PubMed ID: 1815824.
    Abstract:
    The distributions of vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP)- and peptide histidine isoleucine amide (PHI)-immunoreactivities (IR) in the thoracic spinal cord of the rat are described. VIP- and PHI-IR were present in cells and fibers in the lateral spinal nucleus, lamina VII, nucleus proprius, substantia gelatinosa, intermediolateral cell column, and the area around the central canal. The functions of these peptides in the thoracic spinal cord are not known; however, their locations suggest that they are involved in sensory and autonomic functions, among others.
