Abstract excerpt
Early-forming commissural neurons are studied intensively as a model of axonal outgrowth and pathfinding, yet the neurotransmitter phenotype of the majority of these neurons is not known. The present study has determined that a substantial number of commissural neurons express the 65-kDa isoform of glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD65) as early as embryonic day 12 (E 12). Patterns of GAD65 localization were...
