Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is well known for its angiogenic activity, but
recent evidence has revealed a neuroprotective action of this factor on injured or diseased …

Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) was discovered by its angiogenic activity. However,
during evolution, it appeared earlier as a neurotrophic factor required for the development …

Neurotrophins, as target-derived factors, are essential for neuronal survival during
development, but during adulthood, their scope of actions widens to become also mediators of …

Target-derived neurotrophins exert powerful synaptotrophic actions in the adult brain and
are involved in the regulation of different forms of synaptic plasticity. Target disconnection …

Neurotrophic factors delivered from target muscles are essential for motoneuronal survival,
mainly during development and early postnatal maturation. It has been shown that the …

Two types of central nervous system integrators are critical for oculomotor performance. The
first integrates velocity commands to create position signals that hold fixation of the eye. The …

VOR gain rose to a value of 0.62 t 0.02 … PASTOR, AM, DE LA CRUZ, RR, AND BAKER, R. Eye …

VEGF was initially discovered due to its angiogenic activity and therefore named “vascular
endothelial growth factor.” However, its more recently discovered neurotrophic activity may be …

Palisade endings are nerve specializations found in the extraocular muscles (EOMs) of
mammals, including primates. They have long been postulated to be proprioceptors. It was …
