Functional Diversity of Neurotrophin Actions on the Oculomotor System
(MDPI AG, 2016)
Neurotrophins play a principal role in neuronal survival and differentiation during development, but also in the maintenance of appropriate adult neuronal circuits and phenotypes. In the oculomotor system, we have demonstrated ...

Extraocular motoneurons of the adult rat show higher levels of vascular endothelial growth factor and its receptor Flk-1 than other cranial motoneurons
(Public Library of Science, 2017)
Recent studies show a relationship between the deficit of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and motoneuronal degeneration, such as that occurring in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). VEGF delivery protects ...

Complementary Actions of BDNF and Neurotrophin-3 on the Firing Patterns and Synaptic Composition of Motoneurons
(Society for Neuroscience, 2009)
Neurotrophins, as target-derived factors, are essential for neuronal survival during development, but during adulthood, their scope of actions widens to become also mediators of synaptic and morphological plasticity. Target ...

Extraocular Motor System Exhibits a Higher Expression of Neurotrophins When Compared with Other Brainstem Motor Systems
(Frontiers Media, 2017)
Extraocular motoneurons resist degeneration in diseases such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. The main objective of the present work was to characterize the presence of neurotrophins in extraocular motoneurons and muscles ...

Differential regulation of the expression of neurotrophin receptors in rat extraocular motoneurons after lesion
(Wiley, 2011)
Neurotrophins acting through high-affinity tyrosine kinase receptors (trkA, trkB, and trkC) play a crucial role in regulating survival and maintenance of specific neuronal functions after injury. Adult motoneurons supplying ...
