Abstract excerpt
Carbonic anhydrase activity, a marker of mouse proprioceptive neurons in adult dorsal root ganglia, is first detectable in the perinatal period, increases until postnatal day 60 and remains stable in adulthood. The onset of carbonic anhydrase staining begins after the neurons have made connection...
