TL;DR
Electrolytic lesions of the septal area in the rat resulted in a major decrease in the activity of choline acetyltransferase in the hippocampus, consistent with the interruption of thesepto-hippocampal cholinergic pathway.
Abstract
Electrolytic lesions of the septal area in the rat resulted in a major decrease in the activity of choline acetyltransferase in the hippocampus, consistent with the interruption of the septo-hippocampal cholinergic pathway. These lesions also significantly decreased the levels of substance P in the hippocampus. It is suggested that a substance P projection to the hippocampus arises in or passes through the septal area.

It was difficult to identify substance-P immunoreactive axons in the rats studied, and further experimental studies are necessary to elucidate the projections of the substance P-immunoreactive neurons in the rat central nervous system.

The hypothesis that substance P may be a widespread neurotransmitter in the central nervous system is supported by results obtained by applying an indirect immunofluorescent technique.

It is clear that these afferents to the hippocampusal formation do not comprise a single, homogeneous system, and that their terminations within the hippocampal region are not restricted to a particular topographic level (i.e. septal, intermediate or temporal).

The findings suggest that substance P acts as a neurotransmitter in primary afferent fibres terminating in the spinal cord in the rat substantia nigra, and the possibility that Substance P-like immunoreactive neurones may exist in the striatum and the globus pallidus using art immunohistochemical technique.
