Adult rats (male Lister hooded) received a single unsignaled scrambled footshock (0.5 mA for 2 s) 2 min into a 3min exposure to a novel context. One half rats received bilateral microinfusions (1 micr
The purpose of this study was to examine the expression of glial-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF), the GDNF receptors GFRα1 and GFRα2, ciliary neurotrophic factor (CNTF), and the CNTF receptor CNTFR
Cerebral dopamine neurotrophic factor (CDNF) belongs to a newly discovered family of evolutionarily conserved neurotrophic factors. We demonstrate for the first time a therapeutic effect of CDNF in a
Both intraspinal and intramuscular local administration of neurotrophic factors (NFs) have been shown to protect neural tissue after traumatic spinal cord injury (SCI). In our study, we investigated h
ObjectivesBrain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) plays important roles in neuronal survival and differentiation; however, the effects of BDNF on mood disorders remain unclear. We investigated BDNF f
