Abstract
The problem of the mechanisms generating neuronal diversity in terms of neurotransmitter expression has been extensively studied in the autonomic nervous system. Autonomic neurons utilize a number of well characterized neurotransmitters including catecholamines (CA) and acetylcholine (ACh). These neurons derive from a transient embryonic structure, the neural crest. From a dorsal midline position on the neural primordium, neural crest cells migrate in the embryo, following precise pathways and settle in various localizations; some of them aggregate lateral to the aorta to form adrenergic sympathetic chain primordia, while others migrate more ventrally in the gut mesenchyme and eventually give rise to cholinergic and peptidergic enteric neurons (see Le Douarin, 1982, for references).
