Here, we explored the development of the neurotransmitter identity of neurons of the avian nucleus isthmi parvocellularis (Ipc), whose axon terminals are retinotopically arranged in the optic tectum (TeO) and exert a focal gating effect upon the ascending transmission of retinal inputs. Although cholinergic and glutamatergic markers are both found in Ipc neurons and terminals of adult pigeons and chicks, the mRNA expression of the vesicular acetylcholine transporter, VAChT, is weak or absent. To explore how the Ipc neurotransmitter identity is established during ontogeny, we analyzed the expression of mRNAs coding for cholinergic (ChAT, VAChT, and CHT) and glutamatergic (VGluT2 and VGluT3) markers in chick embryos at different developmental stages. We found that between E12 and E18, Ipc neurons expressed all cholinergic mRNAs and also VGluT2 mRNA; however, from E16 through posthatch stages, VAChT mRNA expression was specifically diminished. Our ex vivo deposits of tracer crystals and intracellular filling experiments revealed that Ipc axons exhibit a mature paintbrush morphology late in development, experiencing marked morphological transformations during the period of presumptive dual vesicular transmitter release. Additionally, although ChAT protein immunoassays increasingly label the growing Ipc axon, this labeling was consistently restricted to sparse portions of the terminal branches. Combined, these results suggest that the synthesis of glutamate and acetylcholine, and their vesicular release, is complexly linked to the developmental processes of branching, growing and remodeling of these unique axons.","lang":"eng"}],"author":[{"full_name":"Reyes‐Pinto, Rosana","last_name":"Reyes‐Pinto","first_name":"Rosana"},{"full_name":"Ferrán, José L.","last_name":"Ferrán","first_name":"José L."},{"last_name":"Vega Zuniga","full_name":"Vega Zuniga, Tomas A","id":"2E7C4E78-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","first_name":"Tomas A"},{"first_name":"Cristian","last_name":"González‐Cabrera","full_name":"González‐Cabrera, Cristian"},{"first_name":"Harald","full_name":"Luksch, Harald","last_name":"Luksch"},{"full_name":"Mpodozis, Jorge","last_name":"Mpodozis","first_name":"Jorge"},{"last_name":"Puelles","full_name":"Puelles, Luis","first_name":"Luis"},{"full_name":"Marín, Gonzalo J.","last_name":"Marín","first_name":"Gonzalo J."}],"citation":{"chicago":"Reyes‐Pinto, Rosana, José L.
