Subpopulations of gabaergic neurons in laminae i–iii of rat spinal dorsal horn defined by coexistence with classical transmitters, peptides, nitric oxide synthase or parvalbumin
Abstract
GABAergic neurons in laminae I-III of the spinal dorsal horn may contain one or more of the following compounds: glycine, acetylcholine, neuropeptide Y, enkephalin, nitric oxide synthase or parvalbumin. Although the pattern of co-localization of some of these compounds is understood, it is not known which types of GABAergic neurons contain parvalbumin, or whether nitric oxide synthase coexists with peptides, acetylcholine or parvalbumin in any of these neurons, and in this study we have used immunocytochemistry and enzyme histochemistry to resolve these issues. Parvalbumin-immunoreactivity was restricted to those GABA-immunoreactive neurons that also showed glycine-immunoreactivity and was not co-localized with neuropeptide Y-immunoreactivity or NADPH diaphorase activity. By combining NADPH diaphorase histochemistry with immunocytochemistry with an antiserum to nitric oxide synthase, we were able to show that NADPH diaphorase activity was a reliable marker for nitric oxide synthase in the spinal cord. Neurons that possess GABA- but not glycine-immunoreactivity may contain neuropeptide Y, enkephalin, acetylcholine or NADPH diaphorase, and all of the cholinergic neurons appear to contain NADPH diaphorase. By combining immunofluorescent detection of neuropeptide Y or enkephalin with NADPH diaphorase histochemistry, we showed that peptide-immunoreactivity did not coexist with NADPH diaphorase. This suggests that neither of these peptides coexists with nitric oxide synthase or wit…

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
