Abstract excerpt
The effects of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and cAMP on the neuronal serotoninergic phenotype were studied in primary cultures of E14 rat embryonic rostral raphe. Short treatments (for 18 h) with BDNF or dibutyryl-cAMP induced an almost two-fold increase in the number of serotoninergic neurones and a dramatic extension and ramification of their neurites. These changes were associated with marked...
