Summary The precise distribution of substance P (SP) binding sites in the human brainstem was investigated in normal cases (3 fetuses and 24 newborns) and in 9 cases of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) by in vitro quantitative autoradiography. We discussed the widely but uneven distribution of SP binding sites as regards to the role of SP in brainstem cardio-respiratory ontogenic control and its possible involvement in SIDS.
