The molecules involved encompass a wide varietyof chemicals, e.g. aminoacids, monoamines, peptidesand others. This first chapter attempts to provide a background to the many novel and interestingaspectsoncoexistencedealtwithinthebook. 1.1 Chemical Transmission Chemical transmission is a fundamental process in nervous system function. The chemicals involved were originally termed neurotransmitters, but other nameshavesubsequentlyalsobeenused:messengermolecule,signaling/trans- mitter substance, modulator and more – in Sweden we say ‘‘a loved child has many names’’. Early on, with only few substances around, the term ‘‘neuro- transmitter’’ appeared distinct and sufficient. However, as more and more categories of molecules appeared to have a signaling function in the nervous system, and sometimes with additional, even not well-defined functions, the namenotrarelybecameonissueofcontroversy.Forexample,inthe1960ssome eminent neurophysiologists would not accept the monoamines as neurotrans- mitters.Thisdiscussionistodaylessintense,perhapsbecauseoftheinsightthat the name really is not the critical issue, but rather to understand under what circumstances this spectrum of molecules is produced and released and what theirfunctionalsignificanceis.

One couldargue,letusonlycallsuchamolecule‘‘transmitter’’thatdoesexactlythat; butinfacttherearehardlyanymessengerswithjustthatfunction:Evengluta- mateexertstrophiceffectsandhasbothpre-andpostsynapticeffects,thatis,it alsoactsasagrowthfactorandmodulator.Insummary,moleculesreleasedfrom anerveendingmayhavemanydifferentfunctions.Ifso,wecannotinmanycases speakaboutco-releaseoftransmittersinastrictsense. 1.3 Neurons Only Produce One Transmitter MyupbringingintheAmineGroup–establishedin1962bythelateNils-A˚ ke Hillarp(1916–1965)–intheDepartmentofHistologyatKarolinskaInstitutet, taughtmethataneurononlyhasoneneurotransmitter.Thismyviewwasbased on histochemical monoamine research, using the formaldehyde fluorescence (Falck-Hillarp) method developed by Bengt Falck, Nils- A˚ ke Hillarp and collaborators (Falck et al., 1962). With this technique, for the first time, a transmittercouldbeidentifiedinanindividualneuron–ifonewants,thefirst opportunity to approach the coexistence problem. The results clearly showed that dopamine (DA), noradrenaline (NA), 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT; sero- tonin)and(later)adrenalineweresynthesizedindifferentsystemswiththeircell bodiesdistinctlyseparatedalongthecaudo-cranialaxis(Dahlstro¨mandFuxe, 1964; Ho¨kfelt et al., 1974; Ho¨kfelt et al., 1984). Also, early ultrastructural analyses,evenwhenusingthehighlysensitivepotassiumpermanganatefixation (Richardson,1966),showedthatintheadultanimaltheperipheralnoradrener- gicandcholinergicneuronsaretwoseparatepopulations. Moreover,whenitbecamepossibletodemonstratethecellularlocalization of the large population of inhibitory (cid:2)-amino-butyric acid (GABA) neurons, firstwith3H-GABAandautoradiography(Ho¨kfeltandLjungdahl,1972a,b), and subsequently with immunohistochemistry using antibodies either to the GABA-synthesizingenzymeglutamatedecarboxylase(GAD)(Wuetal.,1973; Saitoetal.,1974),ortoGABAitself(Storm-Mathisenetal.,1983),therewasno obvious evidence for overlap and coexistence of GABA with the above-men- tionedmonoamineneurotransmittersystems(cf.MugnainiandOertel,1985).
