Localized synaptic actions of neurotrophin-4.
Neurotrophins secreted by the postsynaptic target cell may participate in activity-dependent synaptic modification during development and in the mature brain. A fundamental question of how neurotrophins can sculpt synaptic connections is whether neurotrophin-induced synaptic changes are spatially restricted to the site of neurotrophin secretion or whether they can spread to neighboring synapses...
متن کاملComplementary actions of BDNF and neurotrophin-3 on the firing patterns and synaptic composition of motoneurons.
Neurotrophins, as target-derived factors, are essential for neuronal survival during development, but during adulthood, their scope of actions widens to become also mediators of synaptic and morphological plasticity. Target disconnection by axotomy produces an initial synaptic stripping ensued by synaptic rearrangement upon target reinnervation. Using abducens motoneurons of the oculomotor syst...
متن کاملThe neurotrophin hypothesis for synaptic plasticity.
The neurotrophin hypothesis proposes that neurotrophins participate in activity-induced modification of synaptic transmission. Increasingly, evidence indicates that the synthesis, secretion and actions of neurotrophins on synaptic transmission are regulated by electrical activity and that neurotrophins themselves can acutely modify synaptic efficacy. Neurotrophins appear to exert either a permi...
متن کاملFunctional Diversity of Neurotrophin Actions on the Oculomotor System
Neurotrophins play a principal role in neuronal survival and differentiation during development, but also in the maintenance of appropriate adult neuronal circuits and phenotypes. In the oculomotor system, we have demonstrated that neurotrophins are key regulators of developing and adult neuronal properties, but with peculiarities depending on each neurotrophin. For instance, the administration...
متن کاملRetrograde neurotrophin signaling through Tollo regulates synaptic growth in Drosophila
Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are best characterized for their roles in mediating dorsoventral patterning and the innate immune response. However, recent studies indicate that TLRs are also involved in regulating neuronal growth and development. Here, we demonstrate that the TLR Tollo positively regulates growth of the Drosophila melanogaster larval neuromuscular junction (NMJ). Tollo mutants exhi...
