Quantitative demonstration of the retrograde axonal transport of endogenous nerve growth factor.

abstract：:Cultured embryonic mouse olfactory bulb cells formed asymmetric, symmetric, axodendritic, and dendrodendritic synapses. These neurons contained electron lucent, dense core, and coated vesicles. Dense core and coated vesicles had an average diameter of 71 and 80 nm, respectively. Two statistically different populations...
