  • Title: Acetylcholinesterase activity of primary sensory neurons and dorsal root fibers in the cat.
    Author: McNeill ME, Norvell JE.
    Journal: Anat Rec; 1978 Jan; 190(1):155-9. PubMed ID: 626413.
    Abstract:
    Dorsal roots and spinal ganglion cells of adult cats were studied for acetylcholinesterase (AChE) content. An inverse correlation exists between cell size and AChE activity; large neurons are AChE-negative whereas small ones are intensely AChE-positive. A few AChE-positive fibers were demonstrated in the dorsal roots. A possible correlation between AChE activity and substance P content of primary sensory neurons is discussed.
