Brain Res. 1984 Oct 29;321(1):143-6. doi: 10.1016/0006-8993(84)90690-5.

Abstract

Substance P-like immunoreactive nerve fibres and terminals are found in the human sympathetic paravertebral ganglia in connection with postganglionic neurones. Substance P may act as neurotransmitter or neuromodulator in the autonomic transmission in man.
