Signaling events in axons and/or dendrites render motor neurons vulnerable to mutant superoxide dismutase toxicity.

Abstract excerpt

The survival of dorsal root ganglion and sympathetic neurons is promoted whether nerve growth factor (NGF) activates TrkA receptors on the cell body or the axon. Yet other aspects of neurotrophic factor actions (i.e., ability to promote axon growth, selection of neurochemical phenotype and engagement of signaling modules) differ as a function of the location of the ligand-receptor interaction. The extent to which...
