Abstract excerpt
Several signaling pathways have been implicated in the development of dopaminergic and serotonergic neurons. Here, we analyzed the formation of noradrenergic (NAergic) cells in the locus coeruleus (LC) of zebrafish. In the sonic hedgehog (shh) mutant, cells positive for tyrosine hydroxylase, a marker for putative NAergic cells in the LC were reduced. Similarly, the inhibition of translation of all hh genes and...
