Abstract excerpt
Expression of the neuronal non-alpha nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (n alpha nAChR) gene is transiently stimulated in the chick optic tectum between embryonic days 7 and 16 with a peak value reached around embryonic day 12. This stimulation takes place at the time when optic nerve axons are invading this region of the brain and proceeds along a rostral to caudal gradient. Transcripts of the n alpha nAChR gene...
