A catecholaminergic sensory neuron phenotype in cranial derivatives of the neural crest: regulation by cell aggregation and nerve growth factor.

Abstract excerpt

Tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) is transiently detectable in cells distributed throughout cranial sensory ganglia during early stages of gangliogenesis [embryonic day (E) 10.5-15.5]. Although TH cells appear in embryonic ganglia of both neural crest and placode origin, mature cranial sensory neurons that express catecholaminergic properties are restricted to placode derivatives. The mechanism(s) underlying the loss of...
