Phenotypic plasticity of avian embryonic sympathetic neurons grown in a chemically defined medium: direct evidence for noradrenergic and cholinergic properties in the same neurons.

Abstract excerpt

Avian embryonic sympathetic ganglia possess both catecholaminergic and cholinergic features and can synthesize noradrenaline (NAd) and acetylcholine (ACh) simultaneously. In the present study we sought to determine (1) whether or not this coproduction of NAd and ACh corresponds to the existence of two non-overlapping populations, and (2) to what extent the levels of synthesis are influenced by non-neuronal...
