Ultrastructural analysis of noradrenergic nerve terminals in the cat lumbosacral spinal dorsal horn: a dopamine-beta-hydroxylase immunocytochemical study
Abstract
Noradrenaline-containing nerve terminals within the cat spinal dorsal horn were studied by immunocytochemical localization of dopamine-beta-hydroxylase. Immunoreactive terminals formed symmetrical (Gray type II) synaptic specializations with dendrites and somata throughout laminae I-IV, but no junctions were formed with other axons. These findings suggest that noradrenaline regulates sensory transmission through the dorsal horn via a postsynaptic action.
