The immunohistochemical occurrence and localization of the receptor components of the glial cell line‐derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) family ligands, the Ret receptor tyrosine kinase and GDNF family receptor (GFR) alpha‐1 to ‐3, is described in the human post‐mortem hippocampal formation at pre‐...
