Abstract excerpt
Cultured neonatal sympathetic neurons can synthesize and corelease norepinephrine (NE) and acetylcholine (ACh). Evoked release of NE has an excitatory effect on the beat rate of cocultured cardiac myocytes while ACh release results in myocyte inhibition. Here we show that the cholinergic properties of the neurons and the relative level of NE and ACh corelease are modulated by neurotrophic factors. Brain-derived...
