BDNF Differentially Affects Low- and High-Frequency Neurons in a Primary Nucleus of the Chicken Auditory Brainstem

Biology
Neurotrophins are proteins that mediate neuronal development using spatiotemporal signaling gradients. The chicken nucleus magnocellularis (NM), an analogous structure to the mammalian anteroventral cochlear nucleus, provides a model system in which ...

Pro-Region of Neurotrophins Role in Synaptic Modulation [PDF]

, 2003
Neurotrophins are synthesized first as precursors, followed by maturation through proteolytic removal of the “pro” region. Since pro- and mature neurotrophins elicit opposite functional effects by differential interactions with Trks and p75 receptors ...

Decoding neuronal vulnerability: Multidimensional analysis of D1R‐ and D2R‐ medium‐sized spiny neurons in Huntington's disease

Brain Pathology, EarlyView.
D1R and D2R MSNs show distinct responses to Huntington's pathology. G&T‐sequencing of pre‐symptomatic MSNs reveals global LINE‐1 downregulation. While D1R‐MSNs display early transcriptomic changes (OXPHOS/translation upregulation) and reduced mutant huntingtin aggregation, D2R‐MSNs exhibit higher nuclear mHTT accumulation and greater CAG somatic ...

Signal transduction by target-derived neurotrophins

, 2001
Target-derived neurotrophins are important for cell survival. A new study shows that neurotrophins activate different MAP kinase signaling pathways depending on whether they are applied to cell bodies or axon terminals, regulating distinct sets of ...

Novel approaches for drug development against chronic primary pain: A systematic review

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Chronic primary pain (CPP) persisting for more than 3 months, associated with significant emotional distress without any known underlying cause, is an unmet medical need. Traditional or adjuvant analgesics do not provide satisfactory pain relief for a great proportion of these patients.

Cancer pain: current practice and emerging targets

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Cancer pain (CP) arises from a complex interplay between the tumour and its microenvironment. Many patients experience a mixed pain phenotype that encompasses nociceptive, neuropathic and neuroinflammatory mechanisms, and vary across tumour type and disease stage. Despite decades of intensive research, the mainstay of cancer pain treatment is still non‐

Neurotrophins: structural relatedness and receptor interactions.

, 2013
Nerve growth factor (NGF), brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and neurotrophin-3 (NT-3) are structurally related proteins that allow the survival of specific populations of embryonic vertebrate neurons. The primary structure of these neurotrophins,

Cytokines and neurotrophins in psychiatric disorders [PDF]

, 1999
In addition to their immune cell origin and immunological effects, cytokines are produced by neuronal and glial cells and can influence nerve growth and plasticity.

Subregion‐specific perineuronal net remodelling in the dorsal hippocampus drives vulnerability and resilience to chronic stress: The role of venlafaxine treatment

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Background and Purpose Neuronal plasticity enables the brain to adapt to internal and external demands by dynamically regulating synaptic connectivity and emotional circuitry. Impaired neuroplasticity represents a core pathophysiological framework of major depressive disorder, one of the leading causes of disability worldwide. Chronic stress is a major
