Background In recent years, many studies have evaluated the effects of noninvasive brain
stimulation (NIBS) techniques for the treatment of several neurological and psychiatric …

▪ Abstract Neurotrophins regulate development, maintenance, and function of vertebrate
nervous systems. Neurotrophins activate two different classes of receptors, the Trk family of …

INTRODUCTION The cerebral cortex contains two main classes of neurons that derive from
distinct structures in the developing telencephalon. Excitatory neurons originate from …

Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) plays an important role in neuronal survival and
growth, serves as a neurotransmitter modulator, and participates in neuronal plasticity …

Abstract Rationale: Autophagy in Schwann cells (SCs) is crucial for myelin debris
degradation and clearance following peripheral nerve injury (PNI). Nerve growth factor …

Vision is critical for the functional and structural maturation of connections in the mammalian
visual system. Visual experience, however, is a subset of a more general requirement for …

The highly disagreeable sensation of pain results from an extraordinarily complex and
interactive series of mechanisms integrated at all levels of the neuroaxis, from the periphery …

The neurotrophins are a family of closely related proteins that were first identified as survival
factors for sympathetic and sensory neurons and have since been shown to control a …

Extracellular survival factors alter a cell's susceptibility to apoptosis, often through
posttranslational mechanisms. However, no consistent relationship has been established …

▪ Abstract Nerve growth factor (NGF) was discovered 50 years ago as a molecule that
promoted the survival and differentiation of sensory and sympathetic neurons. Its roles in …
