## Abstract At subnanomolar concentrations, vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) can act as an astroglial mitogen and as a secretagogue for neurotrophic substances released from glia (Brenneman et al.: J Neurosci Res 25:386โ394, 1990). Here we report that treatment with subnanomolar (0.1 nM) VIP, th
