Abstract excerpt
To examine the influence of activity-dependent cues on differentiation of primary afferent neurons, we investigated the short- and long-term effects of depolarization and calcium influx on expression of transmitter traits in sensory ganglion cell cultures. We focused on expression of tyrosine hyd...
