In cultured neurons, the exogenous application of neurotrophins (in homogenous
concentrations) alters many features of axonal and dendritic arbors. In vivo, however …

Neurotrophins are essential for multiple aspects of neuronal development and function.
Especially BDNF (brain-derived-neurotrophic-factor) has been shown to play an important …

Proper growth of dendrites is critical to the formation of neuronal circuits, but the cellular
machinery that directs the addition of membrane components to generate dendritic …

Recently, we have identified a novel form of synaptic plasticity that acts to stabilize
neocortical firing rates by scaling the quantal amplitude of AMPA-mediated synaptic inputs …

Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is thought to be involved in neuronal survival,
migration, morphological and biochemical differentiation, and modulation of synaptic …

In the past 15 years numerous reports provided strong evidence that brain-derived
neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is one of the most important modulators of glutamatergic and …

Proper growth and branching of dendrites are crucial for nervous system function; patterns of
dendritic arborization determine the nature and amount of innervation that a neuron receives …

Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is expressed in nociceptive sensory neurons and
transported anterogradely to the dorsal horn of the spinal cord where it is located in dense …

An intriguing feature of the adult brain is its capacity for structural and functional modification
in response to external stimuli. This plasticity of the adult nervous system has been the focus …

Vascular endothelial cells are among the first cells that ventricular zone neuroblasts
encounter during early development. The ventricular zone cells promote angiogenesis by …
