Chapter 34 Synaptic modulation by neurotrophic factors

Open access

Abstract

This chapter focuses on the recent results on synaptic modulation by neurotrophic factors and discusses their physiological implications. Several recent studies have indeed shown rapid synaptic modulation by a number of neurotrophic factors, including neurotrophins—a family of factors related to nerve growth factors (NGF)—as well as ciliary neurotrophic factor (CNTF)—a factor in the cytokine family known to promote the survival of a variety of neuronal populations. The effects of neurotrophins on synaptic currents can be accounted for by presynaptic actions of the factors—namely, a potentiation of transmitter secretion, either in the availability of transmitter containing vesicles or in the probability of vesicular exocytosis. The potential role of neurotrophins in regulating the maturation of synaptic functions is also addressed in cell culture. An important issue that remains to be addressed is the biological relevance of the synaptic modulation by neurotrophic factors observed in various in vitro preparations.

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.
