We applied choline acetyltransferase, (ChAT) and calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) immunocytochemistry to the efferent neurons that innervate the lateral line and the ear of the eel. Strong immunoreactivity to the ChAT antiserum was observed in neurons located within the octavolateralis efferent nucleus that could be distinguished, on the basis of their form, location and dendritic organization, from the ChAT-immunopositive motoneurons of the adjacent facial motor nucleus. Both facial motoneurons and efferent neurons were found to be immunopositive for CGRP, although the reaction was always stronger in the motoneurons. Double labelling experiments established the presence of both ChAT and CGRP in many efferent neurons. The results are evidence that cholinergic efferent neurons supplying end organs of different modalities may also produce calcitonin gene-related peptide.
