Abstract

The cDNAs encoding monkey vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP) and PHM-27 and rat VIP and PHI-27 were cloned and used to generate antisense RNA probes. Using in situ hybridization, neurons expressing the VIP/PHM or VIP/PHI precursor mRNAs were localized in monkey and rat somatic sensory and visual cortex. In both neocortical areas of both species, labeled cells were observed in all 6 layers as well as the subcortical white matter.
