Grasping requires coding of the object's intrinsic properties (size and shape), and the
transformation of these properties into a pattern of distal (finger and wrist) movements …

Interest in BDNF as an activity-dependent modulator of neuronal structure and function in
the adult brain has intensified in recent years. Localization of BDNF-TrkB to glutamate …

▪ Abstract Despite considerable evidence that neuronal activity influences the organization
and function of circuits in the developing and adult brain, the molecular signals that translate …

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 …

Cultured embryonic cortical neurons from rats were used to explore mechanisms of activity-
dependent neuronal survival. Cell survival was increased by the activation of voltage …

During learning and development, neural circuitry is refined, in part, through changes in the
number and strength of synapses. Most studies of long-term changes in synaptic strength …

One of the most rigorously investigated problems in modern neuroscience is to decipher the
mechanisms by which experience-induced changes in the central nervous system are …

The proteins of the mammalian neurotrophin family (nerve growth factor (NGF), brain-
derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), neurotrophin-3 (NT-3) and neurotrophin-4/5 (NT-4/5)) …

The neurotrophin family of survival factors is distinguished by a unique receptor-signaling
system that is composed of two transmembrane receptor proteins. Nerve growth factor …

We have generated and characterized a multi-functional polyclonal anti-brain-derived
neurotrophic factor antibody. Western blot analysis, dorsal root ganglion neurite outgrowth …
