Abstract

As Nerve Growth Factor (NGF) is probably the growth factor most extensively studied so far, it serve as a model of other growth factors. NGF regulates the survival of specific populations of neurons during critical periods of their development. NGF is also essential to the development and maintenance of specific functional properties of these neurons and to the ability of certain neurons to regenerate.
