Neurotrophic factors and their receptors.
Abstract
Several new members of the nerve growth factor family of neurotrophins, which comprises nerve growth factor itself, brain-derived neurotrophic factor and neurotrophins-3, -4 (also known as neurotrophin-5) and -6, have been isolated in recent years. Their signaling receptors have been identified as the Trk family of tyrosine protein kinases, thus facilitating the dissection of the signaling pathways responsible for mediating their trophic properties. More recently, the advent of gene targeting has made it possible to generate strains of mice lacking neurotrophins and their receptors. Analysis of the phenotypes of these mutant animals has provided detailed information on the role that neurotrophins and their receptors play in the ontogeny of the mammalian nervous system.

Neurotrophins are important to the development and maintenance of functioning neural cells in the brain.
“Neurotrophins are important to the development and maintenance of functioning neural cells in the brain (Barbacid, 1995) and are likely to play a crucial role in mediating the impact of AE on hippocampal neuroplasticity and functioning (Cotman et al., 2007; Voss et al., 2013a; Bolijn and Lucassen, 2015).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
