Abstract excerpt
During development, the sympathetic neurons innervating sweat glands undergo a neurotransmitter switch from noradrenergic to cholinergic between postnatal day (P) 4, when the sympathetic neurons first contact the sweat glands, and P21. Several in vitro experiments suggest that norepinephrine (NE), produced by sympathetic neurons, stimulates sweat glands to produce a factor that then induces the phenotypic switch....
