This paper is the 29th consecutive installment of the annual review of research concerning
the endogenous opioid system, now spanning 30 years of research. It summarizes papers …

Here, we present and discuss the characteristics and properties of neurotransmitter
segregation, a subtype of neurotransmitter cotransmission. We review early evidence of …

The rostral ventrolateral medulla (RVLM) is a key region in cardiovascular regulation. It has
been demonstrated that cholinergic synaptic transmission in the RVLM is enhanced in …

A subset of monoamine neurons releases glutamate as a cotransmitter due to presence of
the vesicular glutamate transporters VGLUT2 or VGLUT3. In addition to mediating vesicular …

Chemical coding of sympathetic preganglionic neurons (SPN) suggests that the chemical
content of subpopulations of SPN can define their function. Since neuropeptides, once …

Sympathetic neurons of the rat superior cervical ganglion (SCG) can segregate their
neurotransmitters and co-transmitters to separate varicosities of single axons. We have …

Neurons are able to segregate transmitters to different axon endings. Segregation is a
plastic neuronal feature; it can be modulated by synaptic environment. We have …

Sympathetic preganglionic neurons are critical links in the central circuitry that regulates the
activity of every organ in the body. The axons of sympathetic preganglionic neurons exit the …

There is evidence that neuronal injury can affect uninjured neurons in the same neural
circuit. The overall goal of this study was to understand the effects of peripheral nerve injury …

Abstract Changes in uninjured preganglionic neurons were assessed following axotomy of
peripheral postganglionic axons arising from superior cervical ganglion (SCG) neurons at …
