Abstract
The present immunocytochemical study has demonstrated the presence of a dense fiber plexus containing calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) in the vestibular end-organs in the rats. These fibers appear to originate from the central nervous system. And it was suggested that the possibility that CGRP acts as a vestibular efferent neurotransmitter.
