...Marcus J. Wirth; Annika Brün; Jochen Grabert; Silke Patz; Petra Wahle Neurotrophins are candidate molecules for regulating dendritogenesis. We report here on dendritic growth of rat visual cortex pyramidal and interneurons overexpressing `brain-derived neurotrophic factor' BDNF and`neurotrophin 4...

... of motoneuron survival in vivo by activity blockade may not be mediated by an up-regulation of trophic factor synthesis in target cells; (2) postnatal innervation may regulate the production of putative muscle-derived neurotrophic factors; and (3) the synthesis or availability of trophic agents may be regulated...

... chemotropic factors neurotrophic factors neuronal death somatotopic projection To understand how these three facets of sensory neurone connections are established in development it is necessary to ascertain the following. First, the means by which sensory nerve fibres are guided to their specific...
