The trophic effect of the sympathetic nervous system on cells of the septal region of the basal forebrain.
The sympathetic nervous system exerts a trophic-mitogenic effect on C-1300 mouse neuroblastoma. We now report that the trophic factor present in freshly excised sympathetic ganglia from newborn rats enhances survival and process formation of the cells of the septal region of the rat basal forebrain.
