title: Transient expression of tyrosine hydroxylase immunoreactivity in some neurons of the rat neocortex during postnatal development.
abstract: Tyrosine hydroxylase-like immunoreactive neurons were observed in the dorsolateral and medial neocortex of the rat during postnatal development. They occurred from 8 up to 24 days of age and lacked other catecholamine synthetizing enzymes. They appeared to be insensitive to the suppression of cortical noradrenergic innervation induced by neonatal subcutaneous injections of 6-hydroxydopamine.
