Nerve growth factor (NGF) isolated from mouse submaxillary glands was injected three times weekly into late embryos and young larvae of Ambystoma muculatum for a period of three weeks, producing a n enlargement of the spinal ganglia owing to hyperplasia. This hyperplasia corresponds to the method of

## Abstract In __Triturus__ administration of NGF causes hypertrophy of neuronal perikarya of third dorsal root ganglia and postβsubclavian sympathetic ganglia. Two classes of neurons were characterized cytologically in the third dorsal root ganglia. Some evidence is presented which indicates that
The response to nerve growth factor (NGF) of two sensory neuron populations of the trigeminal nerve was studied in chick embryos. NGF promoted neuronal survival and cellular hypertrophy in the Gasserian ganglia with minimal effect on the neuron population of the mesencephalic trigeminal nucleus. NGF
