Pain facilitation and activity-dependent plasticity in pain modulatory circuitry: role of BDNF-TrkB signaling and NMDA receptors

K Ren, R Dubner - Molecular neurobiology, 2007 - Springer
Pain modulatory circuitry in the brainstem exhibits considerable synaptic plasticity. The
increased peripheral neuronal barrage after injury activates spinal projection neurons that …

Serotonin transporter function, but not expression, is dependent on brain‐derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF): in vivo studies in BDNF‐deficient mice

LC Daws, JL Munn, MF Valdez… - Journal of …, 2007 - Wiley Online Library
In the present study, we used high‐speed chronoamperometry to examine serotonin (5‐HT)
transporter (5‐HTT) function in vivo in 2‐, 5‐, and 10‐month‐old brain‐derived neurotrophic …

Regulation of serotonin-1A receptor function in inducible brain-derived neurotrophic factor knockout mice after administration of corticosterone

JG Hensler, T Advani, LM Monteggia - Biological psychiatry, 2007 - Elsevier
BACKGROUND: We examined the effects of a forebrain-specific reduction in brain-derived
neurotrophic factor (BDNF) on the regulation of serotonin-1A (5-HT1A) receptor function in …

Molecular genetic strategies to identify Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and schizophrenia candidate genes in a South African sub-population group
