Abstract excerpt
In the olfactory bulb, expression of tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) in juxtaglomerular neurons is dependent on innervation by the olfactory nerve. The presence of the neuropeptide calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) within the olfactory nerve has led to the hypothesis that CGRP is responsible for r...
