Neurotransmitter phenotype plasticity: an unexpected mechanism in the toolbox of network activity homeostasis.

Developmental neurobiology - 1 Jan 2012

Demarque Michaël, Spitzer Nicholas C

Abstract excerpt

The transmitter phenotype of a neuron has long been thought to be stable for the lifespan. Much as eyes have one color and do not change it over time, neurons have been thought to have one neurotransmitter and retain it for their lifetime. Both principles, exclusivity and stability, are challenged by recent data. More and more neurons in different regions of the brain appear to coexpress two or more...
