    Area of Science:

    • Neuroscience
    • Neuroanatomy

    Background:

    • Substance P is a neuropeptide involved in various physiological processes.
    • Understanding its distribution is crucial for comprehending brain function.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To map the distribution of substance P immunoreactive sites in the human brain.
    • To utilize archival human brain tissue for detailed neuroanatomical studies.

    Main Methods:

    • Immunoenzymatic methods were employed on paraffin-embedded human brain sections.
    • Archival and recent post-mortem brain tissues were analyzed.
    • Immunocytochemistry combined with image analysis was used for measurements and correlations.

    Main Results:

    • Substance P immunoreactivity was well-preserved in archival material.

  • Detailed localization of cell bodies, fiber networks, and tracts was achieved.
  • Novel distributions were observed in cortical areas, tuberal region, corpus striatum, substantia nigra, and with melanin-containing cells.

    • Conclusions:

    • Archival human brain tissue is suitable for detailed substance P mapping.
    • The study confirmed and extended previous findings on substance P distribution.
    • New insights into substance P pathways and concentrations in relation to anatomical landmarks were gained.
