Ethanol neurotoxicity in culture: selective loss of cholinergic neurons.

Journal of neuroscience research - 15 Jun 1996

Kentroti S, Vernadakis A

Abstract excerpt

Studies from our laboratory have shown that in ovo exposure of chick embryos to ethanol decreases neuronal survival in culture, and shifts neurotransmitter phenotypic from cholinergic to catecholaminergic and GABAergic. In this study we attempted to determine if the shift from cholinergic express...
