There is increasing evidence that neurotrophins (NTs) are involved in processes of neuronal
plasticity besides their well-established actions in regulating the survival, differentiation, and …

Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is a small dimeric protein, structurally related to
nerve growth factor, which is abundantly and widely expressed in the adult mammalian …

Brain‐derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is a protein that allows the survival of specific
neuronal populations. This study reports on the distribution of the BDNF mRNA in the adult …

To obtain insight into the site and stage specificity of nerve growth factor (NGF), brain-
derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), and neurotrophin3(NT-31 action in vivo, we compared …

Alzheimer's disease may be due to a deficiency in neurotrophin protein or receptor
expression. Consistent with this hypothesis, a reduction in BDNF mRNA expression has …

A recurrent observation in the development of the nervous system is the generation of
neurons followed by their large scale elimination. This phenomenon, usually referred to as …

A number of studies have demonstrated that both morphological and biochemical indices in
the brain undergo alterations in response to environmental influences. In previous work we …

Recent evidence suggests that neurotrophic factors that promote the survival or
differentiation of developing neurons may also protect mature neurons from neuronal …

Breast cancer diagnosis, surgery, adjuvant therapies and survivorship can all be extremely
stressful. In women, concerns about body image are common as a result of the disease and …

Evolutionary conservation of members of the NGF family in vertebrates was studied by DNA
sequence analysis of PCR fragments for NGF, BDNF, and NT-3 from human, rat, chicken …
