Tachykinins and Micturition Control in the Rat
Tachykinins have been implied as mediators and/or modulators of capsaicin-sensitive primary afferents. It is known that tachykinins are released from central endings of capsaicin-sensitive primary afferent neurons in the rat and cat spinal cords, and that the capsaicin-sensitive bladder afferents are involved in regulating the micturition reflex in the rat. The general aim of the present studies w
