    Exercise promotes the expression of brain derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) through the action of the ketone body β-hydroxybutyrate

    Sama F Sleiman, Jeffrey Henry ... Moses V Chao
    A potential link between metabolic changes resulting from exercise and gene expression in the brain has been revealed.

    Remodeling of lumbar motor circuitry remote to a thoracic spinal cord injury promotes locomotor recovery

    Ying Wang, Wei Wu ... Xiao-Ming Xu
    Retrograde transport of NT-3 stimulated the reorganization of lumbar neural circuitry and synaptic connectivity remote to a thoracic SCI, along with improved behavioral recovery.

    Neurotrophins induce fission of mitochondria along embryonic sensory axons

    Lorena Armijo-Weingart, Andrea Ketschek ... Gianluca Gallo
    Induction of the fission of mitochondria-populating sensory axons is shown to be a novel biological action of neurotrophins.

    Neurotrophin-3 regulates ribbon synapse density in the cochlea and induces synapse regeneration after acoustic trauma

    Guoqiang Wan, Maria E Gómez-Casati ... Gabriel Corfas
    Overexpression of the growth factor neurotrophin-3 helps to repair noise-induced damage in the mouse inner ear by promoting the regeneration of damaged synapses.

    Helical jackknives control the gates of the double-pore K+ uptake system KtrAB

    Marina Diskowski, Ahmad Reza Mehdipour ... Inga Hänelt
    The K(+) uptake system KtrAB is controlled by an allosteric mechanism entirely new for membrane channels, which operates the channel gate over a 35 Å distance.

    Loss of MeCP2 disrupts cell autonomous and autocrine BDNF signaling in mouse glutamatergic neurons

    Charanya Sampathkumar, Yuan-Ju Wu ... Christian Rosenmund
    In mouse models of Rett syndrome, the impaired cell autonomous BDNF feed forward signaling pathway results in abnormalities in neurite outgrowth and synapse formation in excitatory neurons.

    7,8-Dihydroxyflavone is a direct inhibitor of human and murine pyridoxal phosphatase

    Marian Brenner, Christoph Zink ... Antje Gohla
    Direct inhibition of pyridoxal phosphatase activity by 7,8-dihydroxyflavone indicates a pharmacological entry point into brain disorders associated with vitamin B6 deficiency.

    Balance between BDNF and Semaphorins gates the innervation of the mammary gland

    Hadas Sar Shalom, Ron Goldner ... Avraham Yaron
    The innervation of the mammary gland is controlled by opposing effects of neurotrophic and repulsive factors and, once trophic signaling is inhibited the repulsive factors, may promote axonal pruning.

    Oligodendrocytes regulate presynaptic properties and neurotransmission through BDNF signaling in the mouse brainstem

    Miae Jang, Elizabeth Gould ... Jun Hee Kim
    Oligodendrocytes are actively engaged in the precise control of synaptic functions in the CNS through activity-dependent BDNF signaling.
