Summary: The authors selectively ablated the SCN gastrin-releasing peptide receptor (GRPR) neurons using Bombesin-SAP (Cat. #IT-40), a peptide-conjugated toxin that kills GRPR neurons in the spinal cord. After bilateral injection of Bombesin-SAP into the SCN, immunohistochemistry showed that Bombesin-SAP injection resulted in ablation of SCN GRPR+ neurons.
