The purpose of this study was to demonstrate whether or not neurons
in the RVLM contribute to the glutamatergic innervation of the intermediolateral
(IML) nucleus in the spinal cord. This was done by injecting PHA-L (anterograde
label) into the RVLM and subsequently treating the IML with PAP to detect
PHA-L. The results confirmed that the axon terminals of RVLM neurons that
project to the IML contain glutamate-like immunoreactivity and make excitatory
contacts upon local dendrites.
Short but sweet!
