Bombesin, neuromedin B and neuromedin C selectively depress superficial dorsal horn neurones in the cat spinal cord
Abstract
The effects of bombesin and related peptides on functionally identified single dorsal horn neurones were studied using iontophoresis and extracellular recording in the anaesthetized and spinalized cat. Bombesin selectively depressed superficial dorsal horn neurones (in laminae I-III). The depression was of spontaneous activity as well as of synaptically elicited responses to natural stimulation of the cutaneous receptive field. Bombesin …
