Neuronal phenotype in the mature nervous system is maintained by persistent retrograde bone morphogenetic protein signaling.

Abstract excerpt

The terminal differentiation of many developing neurons occurs after they innervate their target cells and is triggered by secreted target-derived signals that are transduced by presynaptic cognate receptors. Such retrograde signaling induces the expression of genes that are often distinctive markers of neuronal phenotype and function. However, whether long-term maintenance of neuronal phenotype requires...
