It is also known that the biological actions of NKA, NKB and SP are mediated by three receptors, named neurokinin (NK)-1, NK-2 and NK-3 [ 2 ] . Thus, the tachykinins have been implicated in several physiological actions such as salivation, the regulation of smooth muscle contraction, depolarization of central neurons, hyperactivity, interaction with dopaminergic A-10 neurons mediating behavioral activation, regulation of blood pressure, and the transmission of the baroreceptor reflex [ 3 4 5 6 7 ] . In addition, a loss of tachykinin-containing neurons has been described in neurodegenerative diseases [ 8 ] , suggesting that the decrease in the amount of tachykinins could be involved in these and other diseases [ 9 10 ] .
Several studies have shown the distribution of NKA (preprotachykinin A mRNA) [ 12 ] and NKB (peptide-2; preprotachykinin B mRNA) [ 14 16 17 20 ] in the CNS of the rat.
Thus, the antibody used, in the present work, principally recognizes NKA but shows some cross-reactivity with NKB.
6B; 10A; 11A,11B), since the distribution of NKB is much less widespread in the human brainstem, in comparison with the distribution found for NKA(personal observation obtained after using a very specific rabbit anti-NKB antibody from Peninsula).
However, we have to indicate that the immunoreactivity found in this study is mainly due to NKA (see and compare Figs.
