The localization of calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP)-like immunoreactive (CGRPI) structures in the cochlea was examined in the rat using immunocytochemistry. Numerous CGRPI fibers entered the organ of Corti in the intraganglionic spiral bundle and formed a dense fiber patch at the base of the inner hair cells. Much fewer, but still a significant number of CGRPI fibers were seen at the synaptic region of the outer hair cells. Since no immunoreactive cells were seen in the organ of Corti and spinal ganglion, these fibers may be one of the major components of the olivocochlear bundles originated from the superior olivary complex.
采用免疫细胞化学方法，在大鼠中研究了降钙素基因相关肽（CGRP）样免疫反应性（CGRPI）结构在耳蜗中的定位。大量CGRPI纤维通过神经节内螺旋束进入柯蒂氏器，并在内毛细胞基部形成密集的纤维斑。在外毛细胞的突触区域也可见到数量少得多但仍相当可观的CGRPI纤维。由于在柯蒂氏器和脊髓神经节中未见到免疫反应性细胞，这些纤维可能是源自上橄榄复合体的橄榄耳蜗束的主要成分之一。
