Abstract excerpt
The development of the sympathetic nervous system can be divided into three overlapping stages. First, the precursors of sympathetic neurons arise from undifferentiated neural crest cells that migrate ventrally, aggregate adjacent to the dorsal aorta, and ultimately differentiate into catecholaminergic neurons. Second, cell number is refined during a period of cell death when neurotrophic factors determine the...
