Abstract excerpt
Studies of sympathetic neurons developing in cell culture revealed a surprising degree of transmitter plasticity and established the role of environmental factors in determining transmitter choice. The sympathetic neurons that innervate sweat glands undergo a change in neurotransmitter phenotype from noradrenergic to cholinergic during normal development similar to that observed in culture. Cross-innervation...
