There is increasing evidence that brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) modulates
synaptic and morphological plasticity in the developing and mature nervous system …

Cultured neurons from bdnf−/− mice display reduced densities of synaptic terminals,
although in vivo these deficits are small or absent. Here we aimed at clarifying the local …

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

During limbic epileptogenesis in vivo the dentate granule cells (DGCs) exhibit increased
expression of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), followed by striking morphologic …

Dendrite development of newborn granule cells (GCs) in the dentate gyrus of adult
hippocampus is critical for their incorporation into existing hippocampal circuits, but the …

The fine tuning of neural networks during development and learning relies upon both
functional and structural plastic processes. Changes in the number as well as in the size and …

Although brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is linked with an increasing number of
conditions causing brain dysfunction, its role in the postnatal CNS has remained difficult to …

Neurotrophins are known to regulate dendritic development, but the mechanisms that
mediate neurotrophin‐dependent dendrite formation are largely unknown. Here we show …

Neurotrophins are candidate molecules for regulating dendritogenesis. We report here on
dendritic growth of rat visual cortex pyramidal and interneurons overexpressingbrain …

The development of dendrites is a crucial step in the formation of cortical circuitry. The
niorphogen brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) may mediate the effects of activity on …
