Abstract excerpt
Previous studies, aimed at identifying which diffusible signals may influence the differentiation of embryonic neurons towards the monoaminergic phenotypes during brain development, have shown that serotonin itself could promote the 'serotoninergic-like properties' of hypothalamic cells from mouse embryos. We presently reinvestigated such 'autocrine/paracrine' regulatory mechanisms by exposing dissociated cell...
