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 expression is a result of selective loss of cholinergic neurons. Neuron-enriched primary cultures were prepared from 3-day-old...
