A correlation was made between the effects of synthetic substance P (ssP) on spinal dorsal horn neurons and the responses of these neurons to natural peripheral stimulation. ssP caused excitation only of those units which were excited by noxious radiant heat applied to the skin. ssP also caused a small facilitation of the excitatory response to this noxious stimulus and, in 2 cases, led to a response to noxious heat of units which had previously been unaffected by this stimulus. The ratio of ssP sensitive to insensitive units was highest in the deeper parts of the dorsal horn. Excitation by ssP showed a positive correlation to excitation by bradykinin. Substance P may be involved in excitatory spinal processes, and its actions may be associated specifically with nociception.
