The development of glutamic acid decarboxylase in the visual cortex and the dorsal lateral geniculate nucleus of the rat.
The activity of the enzyme glutamic acid decarboxylase was measured in the visual cortex and the dorsal lateral geniculate nucleus of the rat at several postnatal ages. The results suggest that the developmental pattern of glutamic acid decarboxylase is reflected in the morphology of the neurons which presumably contain the enzyme.
