During development, neural networks are established in a highly organized manner, which
persists throughout life. Neurotrophins play crucial roles in the developing nervous system …

In primary sensory neocortical areas of mammals, the distribution of sensory receptors is
mapped with topographic precision and amplification in proportion to the peripheral receptor …

Brain‐derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and its receptors TrkB and p75 regulate dendritic
and axonal growth during development and maintenance of the mature nervous system; …

Alterations in sensory processing constitute prominent symptoms of fragile X syndrome;
however, little is known about how disrupted synaptic and circuit development in sensory …

The effects of neurotrophins during the middle and late stages of development are well
known. It was previously thought that neurotrophins had no role during early development …

Stroke leads to long term sensory, motor and cognitive impairments. Most patients
experience some degree of spontaneous recovery which is mostly incomplete and varying …

One consequence of the opioid epidemic are lasting neurodevelopmental sequelae
afflicting adolescents exposed to opioids in the womb. A translationally relevant and …

Introduction: Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) has been implicated in wide range of
neurological diseases and injury. This neurotrophic factor is vital for neuronal health …

Rett syndrome is an autism spectrum disorder and a leading cause of severe mental
retardation in girls. The nature of the cognitive abnormalities in Rett, as described in humans …

Sensory inputs triggered by external stimuli are projected into discrete arrays of neuronal
modules in the primary sensory cortex. This whisker‐to‐barrel pathway has gained in …
