Abstract
Postnatal development of catecholaminergic and gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA)-ergic neurons in the periglomerular region of the rat main olfactory bulb was studied immunohistochemically using antisera against tyrosine hydroxylase (TH), glutamic acid decarboxylase and GABA. TH-like immunoreactive neurons almost always contained GABA-like immunoreactivity in the first postnatal week, but about 10% of them did not contain GABA-like immunoreactivity in older animals.
