This overview focusses on the ubiquitous presence of immunohistochemically visible
peptidergic nerves with vasodilatory function. The nerve fibres are primarily related to the …

HE NERVOUS REGULATION of vascular tone is effected mainly by the vasoconstrictor
outflow, its nerve terminals covering the whole vascular bed with the possible exception of …

Release of specific vasoactive peptides occurs upon activation of perivascular
parasympathetic (vasoactive intestinal polypeptide and peptide histidine isoleucine) …

During the last few years, the number of neurotransmitter candidates that have been
suggested to be associated with the cerebral vasculature has increased considerably …

In addition to the classical transmitters noradrenaline and acetylcholine, other transmitters
have been identified in perivascular nerves, including 5-hydroxytryptamine, ATP and a …

Noradrenergic, serotoninergic and peptidergic nerves have been demonstrated in
perivascular plexuses of vasa nervorum of sympathetic, parasympathetic and somatic nerve …

Central and local control. In the course of the Dohme lectures for 1933, Dale contrasted the
vasoconstrictor mechanisms of the body with the vasodilator mechanisms, in that the former …

To determine the function of cerebrovascular parasympathetic nerves, the calibre of rat pial
arteries was continuously measured when the nerves (the postganglionic fibres originating …

In this review, we survey the evidence for functional nonadrenergic dilator innervation of
regional vascular beds in common laboratory animals and man with particular emphasis on …
