The contribution of nerves to the pathogenesis of malignancies has emerged as an
important component of the tumour microenvironment. Recent studies have shown that …

To understand brain function, it is essential that we discover how cellular signaling specifies
normal and pathological brain function. In this regard, chemogenetic technologies represent …

Among all neurotrophins, brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) stands out for its high
level of expression in the brain and its potent effects on synapses. It is now widely accepted …

Increasing evidence suggests that synaptic dysfunction is a key pathophysiological hallmark
in neurodegenerative disorders, including Alzheimer's disease. Understanding the role of …

Hubel and Wiesel began the modern study of development and plasticity of primary visual
cortex (V1), discovering response properties of cortical neurons that distinguished them from …

Bone is richly innervated by nerve growth factor–responsive (NGF-responsive) tropomyosin
receptor kinase A–expressing (TrKa-expressing) sensory nerve fibers, which are required …

Elucidating the roles of neuronal cell types for physiology and behavior is essential for
understanding brain functions. Perturbation of neuron electrical activity can be used to probe …

Despite its increasing use in experimental and clinical settings, the cellular and molecular
mechanisms underlying transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) remain unknown …

Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and its receptor TrkB are crucial for many forms of
neuronal plasticity,,,,,, including structural long-term potentiation (sLTP),, which is a correlate …

Brain‐derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is a prototypic neurotrophin that regulates diverse
developmental events from the selection of neural progenitors to the terminal dendritic …
