Genetic Signals Determines Neurotransmitter for Communicating With Other Cells

Genetic signals determines neurotransmitter for communicating with other cells
Cascades of genetic signals determine which neurotransmitter a brain cell will ultimately use to communicate with other cells. Now a pair of reports from biologists at the University of California, San Diego, have shown for the first time that electrical activity in these developing neurons can alter their chemical fate-and change an animal’s behavior-by tweaking this genetic program.

Ol’ Whitey makes a money point as clear as gin
J.J. SMITH For the most part, I would say I’m not much of a materialistic person. I don’t sit around pining away for a new car or bigger house because I’m basically content with what I’ve been given.

Electrical activity in developing brain influences choice of neurotransmitter
Cascades of genetic signals determine which neurotransmitter a brain cell will ultimately use to communicate with other cells. Now a pair of reports have shown for the first time that electrical activity in these developing neurons can alter their chemical fate — and change an animal’s behavior — by tweaking this genetic program.
