Abstract excerpt
Neurotrophins are well known for their physiological role as key modulators of neuronal survival, neurite out-growth, and synaptic connectivity during development and into adulthood. Moreover, neurotrophins are potent agents, ameliorating neuronal degeneration in many model systems for neurological diseases. However, a causal role for mutations in neurotrophins or neurotrophin receptors in human neurodegenerative...
