Journal ArticleDOI
Neuron numbers in the superior cervical sympathetic ganglion of the rat: a critical comparison of methods for cell counting.
TL;DR: The effects on neuron number of varying the diameter of the neuronal nucleus, the size of the smallest resolvable profile, and the thickness of the section were determined using computer simulations of neuron populations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Developmental neuron death in the rat superior cervical sympathetic ganglion: cell counts and ultrastructure
TL;DR: It is concluded that neuron death is an important aspect of early postnatal development in the rat SCG.
Journal ArticleDOI
Neonatal testosterone treatment increases neuron and synapse numbers in male rat superior cervical ganglion
Linda L. Wright,Arnold J. Smolen +1 more
TL;DR: A sexual dimorphism in the number of neurons but not in theNumber of preganglionic axons or ganglionic synapses is reported in the SCG of the rat.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of 17-β-estradiol on developing superior cervical ganglion neurons and synapses
Linda L. Wright,Arnold J. Smolen +1 more
TL;DR: It is reported that administration of another gonadal steroid, 17-β-estradiol, over the first 2 postnatal weeks nearly doubles the number of postganglionic neurons and synapses in the male superior cervical ganglion.
Journal ArticleDOI
Neurotransmitter synthesis, storage, and turnover in neonatally deafferented sympathetic neurons.
TL;DR: There is a critical period during the first two postnatal weeks when transsynaptic influences from afferents are necessary for the induction of TH in sympathetic neurons, but levels and turnover of transmitter do not have this critical period, but appear to depend solely on the functional integrity of the system.
