Abstract excerpt
Nitric oxide (NO) has been implicated in learning in the hatchling chicken. To examine morphological and neurochemical properties of neurons that contain NO synthase (NOS) in brain regions known to be involved in learning and memory, the NADPH-diaphorase technique was used in conjunction with imm...
