Abstract excerpt
To investigate the role of activity-dependent mechanisms in sensory transmitter development, we examined the effect of depolarizing stimuli on tyrosine hydroxylase expression and dopamine synthesis in cells of the fetal rat petrosal ganglion, a model of catecholaminergic sensory neurons. Although dopaminergic traits are normally detectable in only 10-20% of ganglion neurones, exposure to depolarizing...
