Preliminary results on the localization of substance P-like immunoreactivity in the human cerebellum are presented. Cerebella from newborn and adult subjects were examined. While only sporadic positive fibres were detected in the adult tissue, the immunoreactive material appeared more abundant in the cerebella from newborn subjects. Varicose and non-varicose fibres and dot-like nerve terminals were present with different density in various regions. The paucity of immunoreactive perikarya suggests that most of the cerebellar substance P-like immunoreactive material has an extrinsic origin.

D008297 Male Males
D002531 Cerebellum The part of brain that lies behind the BRAIN STEM in the posterior base of skull (CRANIAL FOSSA, POSTERIOR). It is also known as the "little brain" with convolutions similar to those of CEREBRAL CORTEX, inner white matter, and deep cerebellar nuclei. Its function is to coordinate voluntary movements, maintain balance, and learn motor skills. Cerebella,Corpus Cerebelli,Parencephalon,Cerebellums,Parencephalons
D005260 Female Females
D005455 Fluorescent Antibody Technique Test for tissue antigen using either a direct method, by conjugation of antibody with fluorescent dye (FLUORESCENT ANTIBODY TECHNIQUE, DIRECT) or an indirect method, by formation of antigen-antibody complex which is then labeled with fluorescein-conjugated anti-immunoglobulin antibody (FLUORESCENT ANTIBODY TECHNIQUE, INDIRECT). The tissue is then examined by fluorescence microscopy.
