Olfactory afferent regulation of the dopamine phenotype in the fetal rat olfactory system.

Neuroscience - 1 Jan 1993

Baker H, Farbman A I

Abstract excerpt

Recent studies strongly suggest that functional olfactory receptor cell innervation is necessary for the maintenance of the dopamine phenotype in the adult rat olfactory bulb. To determine whether afferent innervation is required for the initial expression of the dopaminergic phenotype during dev...
