TL;DR
In the pineal gland of gerbils, substance P (SP)-, calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP)-, vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP)- and neuropeptides Y (NPY)-containing nerve fibers were demonstrated immunohistochemically and confirmed that SP- and CGRP-fibers originated from the trigeminal ganglion.
Abstract
In the pineal gland of gerbils, substance P (SP)-, calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP)-, vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP)- and neuropeptide Y (NPY)-containing nerve fibers were demonstrated immunohistochemically. After intrapineal injection of biotin-wheat germ agglutinin, origins of fibers were examined by the combined technique of tracing method and immunohistochemistry. It was confirmed that SP- and CGRP-fibers originated from the trigeminal ganglion, VIP-fibers from the pterygopalatine ganglion and NPY-fibers from the superior cervical ganglion.

Double staining immunocytochemistry showed that the patterns of the running of CGRPI and SPI fibers in the wall of the cerebral arteries were similar, and this method demonstrated the presence of neurons containing both CGR PI and SPI structures in single cells of the trigeminal ganglion, which is the major origin of these fibers inThe cerebral arteries.
