Potential Role of Endogenous Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor in Long-Term Neuronal Reorganization of the Superior Colliculus after Bilateral Visual Deprivation

Potential Role of Endogenous Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor in Long-Term Neuronal Reorganization of the Superior Colliculus after Bilateral Visual Deprivation

The role of the brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), the BDNF receptor (TrkB), and the glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD67) after neonatal, bilateral nerve deafferentiation during postnatal development was investigated in the rat superior colliculus (SC). BDNF and GAD67 mRNA expression were sign...
