- SN : Substantia nigra
Groups of neurons in specific brain regions are lost, notably those that produce dopamine in a part of the midbrain called the substantia nigra.
Moreover, in the midbrain of the rat those authors described NKA in the substantia nigra, the interpeduncular nucleus and the periaqueductal gray [ 29 ] , just as we found NK-ir structures in these nuclei of the human brainstem when using immunocytochemical techniques.
Thus, for example, the presence of NK in the nucleus of the solitary tract, the dorsal motor nucleus of the vagus, the periaqueductal gray, the spinal trigeminal nucleus, the interpeduncular nucleus, the substantia nigra, the parabrachial nucleus, and the superior and inferior colliculi indicates that NK could be involved in a broad range of physiological functions such as in cardiovascular, anti-nociceptive, nociceptive, motor, respiratory, visual and auditory mechanisms.
Thus, for example, SP and NK-ir structures have been observed in the same human brainstem areas such as the periaqueductal gray, substantia nigra, parabrachial nucleus, inferior and superior colliculi, reticular formation, nucleus of the solitary tract, red nucleus, interpeduncular nucleus, medial vestibular nucleus, cuneate nucleus, spinal trigeminal nucleus, and the dorsal motor nucleus of the vagus.
