How can you use “brainstem” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
Thus, the differences found in the distribution of both neuroactive substances in the human brainstem could be due to the intraneuronal segregation transport of the peptides and/or the different processing of the precursor [see [ 31 ] ]. Another possibility could be that the immunoreactivity observed in those nuclei of the human brainstem in which NK-ir structures, but not SP, are found is due to NKB (the antibody used here also recognizes NKB).
Distribution of tachykinins in the human brainstem
The widespread distribution of NK-ir structures in the human brainstem suggests that the peptide might be involved in several physiological actions, acting as a neurotransmitter and/or neuromodulator.
In comparison with previous works in which the distribution of SP was described in the human brainstem [ 24 25 26 27 ] , it seems that in general, taking together the results obtained from the four above-mentioned works, the distribution of NK-ir structures in this region of the human CNS is quite similar.
In a previous study, we described the distribution of NK-ir structures in the cat brainstem [ 15 ] . Although the presence of NK-ir fibers is widely distributed in both cat and human brainstems, it seems that the distribution is a little more widespread in humans than in cats.
