Substantia

Slow pain is transmitted via slower type C fibres to laminae II and III of the dorsal horns, together known as the substantia gelatinosa. ❋ Unknown (2009)

Studies show that the part of the brain affected most by Parkinson's (called the substantia nigra) has a high level of receptors for vitamin D. ❋ Unknown (2008)

In a small part of the brain called the substantia nigra are cells that help control the body's automatic movements. ❋ Unknown (2007)

The diet enhances the protective role of energy-, or ATP-, dependent potassium channels in the brain, which control the electrical firing of neurons that release the neurotransmitter gamma-aminobutyric acid GABA in a region of the brain called substantia nigra pars reticulata, the researchers found. ❋ Unknown (2007)

This response appears to be controlled by a portion of the cortex called the substantia nigra. ❋ Field Notes (2006)

Mr. KONDRACKE: Parkinson's is a disease that's caused -- it's a brain disease that's caused by the -- the dying of a little clump of cells deep in your brain called substantia nigra which produce dopamine. ❋ Unknown (2001)

—On transverse section, each peduncle is seen to consist of a dorsal and a ventral part, separated by a deeply pigmented lamina of gray substance, termed the substantia nigra. ❋ Unknown (1918)

In the superior part of the rhomboid fossa it corresponds with the lateral limit of the fossa and presents a bluish-gray area, the locus cæruleus, which owes its color to an underlying patch of deeply pigmented nerve cells, termed the substantia ferruginea. ❋ Unknown (1918)
