This article reviews the progress in recent studies on neurotransmitters in the autonomic nervous system and neural circuits relevant to particular neurotransmitter systems. Recently it has become increasingly clear that chemical transmission at synapses is not as simple aspreviously imagined but include multiple and diverse interactions between many subsets of neurotransmitters secreted by nerve cells and receptors expressed by postsynaptic target cells.During the last decade the concept of diversity in chemical transmission has progressed rapidly in concomitant with the discovery of a wide variety of active peptides in the nervous system. A major attention of this article is therefore placed on the neurotransmitter roles of neuropeptides that have been clarified in autonomic synapses for the recent several years. The peptides reviewed here include substance P, enkephalins, VIP, NPY and soma-tostatin. Possible functional roles of these peptides and neural pathways involved in the peptidergic systems are described. Brief accounts are also made of controversial neurotransmitter candidates at particular autonomic synapses.
