Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the role of cholinergic neurotransmission in spinal cord development using zebrafish as a model organism.
- It highlights that spinal motoneurons in 1-day-old embryos express key cholinergic genes, but there is a significant decrease in their expression as the embryos develop, especially from the head to the tail.
- The research suggests that while presynaptic cholinergic gene expression decreases, nicotinic acetylcholine receptors remain consistent, indicating that cholinergic signaling might be crucial for forming the spinal cord's locomotor circuits.
