Distribution of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) protein and mRNA in the normal adult rat CNS: evidence for anterograde axonal transport

JM Conner, JC Lauterborn, Q Yan, CM Gall… - Journal of …, 1997 - Soc Neuroscience
A sensitive immunohistochemical technique was used, along with highly specific affinity-purified
antibodies to brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), to generate a detailed mapping …

BDNF mRNA expression is increased in adult rat forebrain after limbic seizures: temporal patterns of induction distinct from NGF

PJ Isackson, MM Huntsman, KD Murray, CM Gall - Neuron, 1991 - cell.com
We have localized brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) mRNA in rat brain and examined
its regulation by seizure activity. In situ hybridization of BDNF 35S-cRNA most prominently …

At the interface of sensory and motor dysfunctions and Alzheimer's disease

…, DP Devanand, CJ Duffy, CM Gall… - Alzheimer's & …, 2015 - Elsevier
Recent evidence indicates that sensory and motor changes may precede the cognitive
symptoms of Alzheimer's disease (AD) by several years and may signify increased risk of …

BDNF and epilepsy: too much of a good thing?

DK Binder, SD Croll, CM Gall, HE Scharfman - Trends in neurosciences, 2001 - cell.com
76 Bradbury, EJ et al.(2000) Chrondroitinase ABC delivered to the site of a spinal cord injury
upregulates GAP-43 expression in dorsal root ganglion neurons. Soc. Neurosci. Abstr. 26, p…

Limbic seizures increase neuronal production of messenger RNA for nerve growth factor

CM Gall, PJ Isackson - Science, 1989 - science.org
Nerve growth factor (NGF) produced by telencephalic neurons provides critical trophic
support for cholinergic neurons of the basal forebrain. In situ hybridization and nuclease …

Hippocampal dysfunction and cognitive impairments provoked by chronic early-life stress involve excessive activation of CRH receptors

…, PM Maras, DE Grigoriadis, CM Gall… - Journal of …, 2010 - Soc Neuroscience
Chronic stress impairs learning and memory in humans and rodents and disrupts long-term
potentiation (LTP) in animal models. These effects are associated with structural changes in …

Brain-derived neurotrophic factor promotes long-term potentiation-related cytoskeletal changes in adult hippocampus

…, CY Lin, EA Kramár, LY Chen, CM Gall… - Journal of …, 2007 - Soc Neuroscience
Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is an extremely potent, positive modulator of theta
burst induced long-term potentiation (LTP) in the adult hippocampus. The present studies …

Changes in synaptic morphology accompany actin signaling during LTP

LY Chen, CS Rex, MS Casale, CM Gall… - Journal of …, 2007 - Soc Neuroscience
Stabilization of long-term potentiation (LTP) is commonly proposed to involve changes in
synaptic morphology and reorganization of the spine cytoskeleton. Here we tested whether, as …

Positive modulation of AMPA receptors increases neurotrophin expression by hippocampal and cortical neurons

…, G Lynch, P Vanderklish, A Arai, CM Gall - Journal of …, 2000 - Soc Neuroscience
This study investigated whether positive modulators of AMPA-type glutamate receptors
influence neurotrophin expression by forebrain neurons. Treatments with the ampakine CX614 …

Dopaminergic neurons in rat ventral midbrain express brain‐derived neurotrophic factor and neurotrophin‐3 mRNAs

…, KM Guthrie, PJ Isackson, CM Gall - Journal of …, 1994 - Wiley Online Library
Studies of the trophic activities of brain‐derived neurotrophic factor and neurotrophin‐3 indicate
that both molecules support the survival of a number of different embryonic cell types in …
