title: Transient appearance of calcitonin gene-related peptide-like immunoreactive fibers in the developing cerebellum of the rat.
abstract: A plexus of calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP)-containing fibers were transiently found in the developing cerebellum of the rat by means of the indirect immunofluorescent method. CGRP-like immunoreactive fibers appeared in the cerebellum by embryonic day 22. Immunoreactive fibers rapidly increased and these made a dense plexus in the Purkinje cell layer by postnatal day 2. However, only a few if any immunoreactive fibers were seen in the Purkinje cell layer or molecular layer of adult rats.
