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...
