Cell interactions that determine sympathetic neuron transmitter phenotype and the neurokines that mediate them.

Abstract excerpt

The transmitter properties of both developing and mature sympathetic neurons are plastic and can be modulated by a number of environmental cues. Cell culture studies demonstrate that noradrenergic neurons can be induced to become cholinergic and that the expression of neuropeptides can be altered. Similar changes in transmitter phenotype occur in vivo. During development, noradrenergic neurons that innervate...
