Two classes of astrocytes in the adult human and pig retina in terms of their expression of high affinity NGF receptor (TrkA).

Abstract:

:Astrocytes have been implicated in axon guidance and synaptic regeneration in the retina and these processes involve activation of the high affinity nerve growth factor receptor, known as the tyrosine kinase A (TrkA) receptor. The purpose of the present study was to characterize the expression of TrkA in astrocytes of the adult pig and human retina. To this end, sections of human and pig retinas were immunolabeled with a combination of antibodies to glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) and TrkA. Our study revealed that most of the GFAP-positive cells express TrkA, whereas a rare, novel subpopulation of astrocytes was found to be devoid of TrkA. Our results support the idea that astrocytes play an important neurotrophic role in the retina.

  • The normal emergence of the superior collicular map of auditory space in the guinea pig following developmental removal of visual cortex.

    abstract::The normal development of the superior collicular map of auditory space in the guinea pig requires visual experience (Eur. J. Neurosci., 2 (1990) 682-692). The possible role of the visual cortex in this process was assessed by unilateral removal of the cortex prior to the crucial period during which visual experience ...
