abstract：:The discovery of nerve growth factor (NGF) over 40 years ago led to the formulation of the "Neurotrophic Factor Hypothesis". This hypothesis states that developing neurons compete with each other for a limited supply of a neurotrophic factor (NTF) provided by the target tissue. Successful competitors survive; unsucces...
