Presynaptic Neurons

Since the discovery of nerve growth factor, it has been thought that neurotrophic factors are released or secreted from target cells. However, more recently it has been suggested that a specific neurotrophic factor known as brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) may reach target cells directly from pre-synaptic axons. It has not been known how these molecules get from the neuron in which they are produced to the target cells. Keigo Kohara, Akihiko Kitamura, Mieko Morishima, and Tadaharu Tsumoto have demonstrated that BDNF is transported anterogradely from presynaptic neurons to target neurons.
