Dopamine, an important neuromodulator in the retina, controls the balance of rod cone photoreceptor activity and influences the activity of several interneurons. The postnatal development of dopaminergic neurons, visualized immunocytochemically, was compared to the development of dopamine D 1 recept

The distribution and synaptic clustering of N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors were studied in the rat retina by using subunit specific antisera. A punctate immunofluorescence was observed in the inner plexiform layer (IPL) for all subunits tested, and electron microscopy confirmed that the immun
## GABA (β₯-aminobutyric acid) is the major inhibitory neurotransmitter in the mammalian central nervous system and plays an important role in neuronal physiology during ontogenesis. The distribution of the β€ 1 -, β€ 2/3 -, and β₯ 2 -subunit of the GABA A receptor in the rat retina was studied during
The respective distribution of neuropeptide Y Y 1 , Y 2 , Y 4 , and Y 5 receptor subtypes was investigated in rodents (rat and mouse), guinea pig, and primates (marmoset and vervet monkeys and human) brains, representing three orders of mammals.

Estrogen receptors are direct regulators of transcription that function by binding to specific DNA sequences in promoters of target genes. The two cloned forms of estrogen receptors, β£ and β€, are expressed in the central nervous system by different neuronal populations. Astrocytes in vitro are also
