Abstract excerpt
We investigated the development of noradrenergic and cholinergic neurons in the ceruleus complex and mesencephalic tegmentum in embryonic and posthatch chickens and compared the distribution of transmitter phenotypes with the expression of nerve growth factor receptor (NGFR) mRNA and fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR) mRNA. Noradrenergic and cholinergic neurons were visualized by using antibodies against...
