## Abstract Retrograde axonal transport of neurotrophins from nerve terminal to cell body requires a number of key processes, including internalization of the receptorβneurotrophin complex into vesicles and formation of multivesicular bodies and their transport along the axon. Previous studies have

## Abstract Although vesicular retrograde transport of neurotrophins in vivo is well established, relatively little is known about the mechanisms that underlie vesicle endocytosis and formation before transport. We demonstrate that in vivo not all retrograde transport vesicles are alike, nor are th
Although the physiological role of neurotrophins in neuronal development and survival has been extensively investigated, their role in glial cell physiology remains to be elucidated. In the present study, we investigated the effects of neurotrophins on cultured microglia from newborn rat brain. All
Recently, a role for neurotrophins in regulating cortical developmental plasticity has clearly emerged. We present in this review a summary of the early data on the action of nerve growth factor (NGF) in visual cortical development and plasticity in the rat and of other neurotrophins in the visual c
