Journal ArticleDOI
Brain-derived neurotrophic factor rapidly enhances synaptic transmission in hippocampal neurons via postsynaptic tyrosine kinase receptors
TL;DR: A role for BDNF in the modulation of synaptic transmission in the hippocampus is suggested through a previously unreported mechanism--increased postsynaptic responsiveness via a phosphorylation-dependent pathway.
Journal ArticleDOI
Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor in Astrocytes, Oligodendrocytes, and Microglia/Macrophages after Spinal Cord Injury
TL;DR: In normal adult cord, astrocytes, oligodendrocycles, and microglia/macrophages play roles in local trophin availability and in trophIn-mediated injury and healing responses directly within and surrounding the wound site.
Journal ArticleDOI
Regional and Cell-Specific Expression of GDNF in Rat Brain
TL;DR: A role for glial cell line-derived growth factor (GDNF) is suggested in both local and target-derived support of DA neurons, as well as potential involvement in the support of other neuronal populations in vivo.
Journal ArticleDOI
Oligodendrocytes as providers of growth factors
Yangzhou Du,Cheryl F. Dreyfus +1 more
TL;DR: Oligodendrocytes provide trophic signals to nearby neurons and synthesize defined growth factors, which influence expression of growth factors and their implications in brain function.
Journal ArticleDOI
VIP-, enkephalin-, substance P- and somatostatin-like immunoreactivity in neurons intrinsic to the intestine: immunohistochemical evidence from organotypic tissue cultures
Marianne Schultzberg,Cheryl F. Dreyfus,Michael D. Gershon,Tomas Hökfelt,Robert Elde,Göran E. Nilsson,Said S,Menek Goldstein +7 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that there are VIP, enkephalin, substance P and somatostatin containing neurons intrinsic to the intestinal wall, however, all 4 peptides may also be present in neurons originating outside the gastrointestinal tract as well as in the intrinsic neurons.
