Postnatal development of neurons containing both catecholaminergic and GABAergic traits in the rat main olfactory bulb

Brain Res. 1987 Feb 17;403(2):355-60. doi: 10.1016/0006-8993(87)90075-8.

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.
