TL;DR: The basic definitions and some distinctive characteristics of the two types of transmission are discussed and the evidence for different types of intercellular communication besides synaptic transmission in the central nervous system during phylogeny, and in vertebrates in physiological and pathological conditions is reviewed.

TL;DR: Data from in situ hybridization and intraocular transplantation support the concept that GDNF functions as a dopaminotrophic factor in vivo.

TL;DR: It is concluded that maximal lesions of the striatum and substantia nigra are required to generate rotations demonstrable with low dose apomorphine but not with D-amphetamine, and no correlations were seen involving depletions of the ventral tegmental area and the extent of the lesions to thestriatum.

TL;DR: The purpose of the present study was to determine whether tyrosine hydroxylase immunoreactive processes which originate in the graft participate in morphologically identifiable synapses in the host neuropil.

TL;DR: It is concluded that GDNF mRNA is expressed in many different cellular systems inside and outside the central nervous system during development, suggesting multiple functions of GDNF in the developing organism.
