Nerve growth factor (NGF) and the other members of the NGF gene family have been extensively characterized as neurotrophic factors. Recently a modulatory action of these neurotrophic factors on synapse efficacy has emerged. The developing visual system has provided a convenient model to test the role of neurotrophins on neural plasticity in vivo.
神经生长因子(NGF)及NGF基因家族的其他成员已被广泛鉴定为神经营养因子。最近,这些神经营养因子对突触效能的调节作用已显现出来。发育中的视觉系统为测试神经营养因子在体内神经可塑性中的作用提供了一个便利的模型。
