IRIS è la soluzione IT che facilita la raccolta e la gestione dei dati relativi alle attività e ai prodotti della ricerca. Fornisce a ricercatori, amministratori e valutatori gli strumenti per monitorare i risultati della ricerca, aumentarne la visibilità e allocare in modo efficace le risorse disponibili.
EnglishIn the visual cortex, brain-derived neurotrophic factor expression is modulated through glutamate receptors, including the N-methyl-D-aspartate glutamate receptor. It has been proposed that the N-methyl-D-aspartate glutamate receptor subunit composition itself might be regulated by brain-derived neurotrophic factor. Here, we investigated the co-expression of the neurotrophin-4/brain-derived neurotrophic factor receptor TrkB with the N-methyl-D-aspartate glutamate receptor subunits NR1-C1, NR2A and NR2B, on postnatal days 10 and 22 and in the adult rat primary visual cortex. At both postnatal days 10 and 22, TrkB is co-expressed in all cortical layers with the studied N-methyl-D-aspartate glutamate receptor subunits. In the adult, in layers IV-V, co-expression is restricted to a subpopulation of neurons, while in layers II-III, VI nearly all neurons co-express TrkB with NR1-C1, NR2A and NR2B. We conclude that in layers IV-V, the co-expression of TrkB with subunits NR2B and NR2A is developmentally regulated. (C) 1999 IBRO. Published by Elsevier Science Ltd.

| Abstract: | In the visual cortex, brain-derived neurotrophic factor expression is modulated through glutamate receptors, including the N-methyl-D-aspartate glutamate receptor. It has been proposed that the N-methyl-D-aspartate glutamate receptor subunit composition itself might be regulated by brain-derived neurotrophic factor. Here, we investigated the co-expression of the neurotrophin-4/brain-derived neurotrophic factor receptor TrkB with the N-methyl-D-aspartate glutamate receptor subunits NR1-C1, NR2A and NR2B, on postnatal days 10 and 22 and in the adult rat primary visual cortex. At both postnatal days 10 and 22, TrkB is co-expressed in all cortical layers with the studied N-methyl-D-aspartate glutamate receptor subunits. In the adult, in layers IV-V, co-expression is restricted to a subpopulation of neurons, while in layers II-III, VI nearly all neurons co-express TrkB with NR1-C1, NR2A and NR2B. We conclude that in layers IV-V, the co-expression of TrkB with subunits NR2B and NR2A is developmentally regulated. (C) 1999 IBRO. Published by Elsevier Science Ltd. | |
