Abstract
Immunocytochemical methods were used to determine the distribution of cells with cholecystokinin-like immunoreactivity (CCK-LI) in the cat Edinger-Westphal complex (EW). Numerous cells with CCK-LI are found throughout the length of EW. The distribution and frequency of such cells are similar to the pattern of EW neurons that show substance P-like immunoreactivity (SP-LI). Companion retrograde transport experiments reveal that EW neurons which project to spinal cord or the region of the caudal trigeminal nucleus are found throughout the length of EW, and that some EW neurons which project to spinal cord also show CCK-LI.Entities:
