Abstract excerpt
The inducible transcription factor c-Jun increases in neurons in response to axotomy by unknown mechanisms, and it has been postulated that c-Jun may regulate genes involved in promoting either degeneration or regeneration of axotomized neurons. In this report, we investigated the effect of daily or twice daily intraventricular administration of the neurotrophins nerve growth factor or neurotrophin-4/5 on the...
