Abstract
Dorsal roots and spinal ganglion cells of adult cats were studied for acetylcholinesterase (AChE) content. An inverse correlation exists between cell size and AChE activity; large neurons are AChE‐negative whereas small ones are intensely AChE‐positive. A few AChE‐positive fibers were demonstrated in the dorsal roots. A possible correlation between AChE activity and substance P content of primary sensory neurons is discussed.This publication has 10 references indexed in Scilit:
