Removal of the cortical projections alters expression of NOS in the different cell types of the superficial layers of the superior colliculus in rats
Nitric oxide has several biological roles and nitric oxide synthase (NOS) is expressed in the nervous system, and co-localizes with NADPH-diaphorase. The superficial layers of the superior colliculus (SC), which receive retinal and cortical inputs, present NADPH-d staining in a sub-population of neu...
