Growth factors, including members of the neurotrophin gene family, play a central role in the regulation of neuronal survival and differentiation during development. In addition to these relatively long-term actions of neurotrophins, recent studies have shown that these factors also rapidly modulate

## Abstract Light information reaches the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) through a subpopulation of retinal ganglion cells. Previous work raises the possibility that brainβderived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and its highβaffinity receptor TrkB may be important as modulators of this excitatory input i
## Abstract Brainβderived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) promotes a variety of neuromodulatory processes during development as well as in adulthood. This neurotrophin has been associated with synaptic plasticity, suggesting that its regulation may represent one of the mechanisms through which psychotro
