Abstract
The availability of new and improved techniques in fluorescence histochemistry (particularly immunohistochemistry), electron microscopy, electrophysiology and pharmacology since the 1960s has led to a wealth of discoveries that have profoundly reshaped our understanding of the autonomic nervous system. There has also been a dramatic rise in the number of putative neurotransmitter substances, which show a marked overlap in their localization and function. These findings add new concepts and further complexity to autonomic neuroeffector mechanisms and demand a reappraisal of our definitions for subclassing these neurohumoral agents into neurotransmitters; neuromodulators and trophic factors.
