Nerve growth factor activity and aging in CNS.
This is a discussion of aging in CNS and the influence of the nerve growth factor (NGF) protein. The paper considers neuronal plasticity and neuronotrophic substances, neuronal cell death and the nerve growth factor protein, including its effects, receptors, and model systems for the study of CNS aging.
