| Abstract | Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), a member of the nerve growth factor (NGF)-related family of neutrophins, promotes the survival and differentiation of cultured nigral dopamine neurons. Two-week infusions of BDNF were made above the right pars compacta of the substantia nigra in adult rats. Systemic injection of these animals with (+)-amphetamine, a dopamine-releasing drug, induced 3 or 4 body rotations per minute directed away from the nigral infusion site. Neither supranigral NGF nor neocortical BDNF infusions induced rotational behavior. Systemic injections of the postsynaptic dopamine receptor agonist apomorphine did not induce rotations in these animals, demonstrating a presynaptic dopamine neuron locus for BDNF action. In support of this, neostriatal levels of the dopamine metabolite homovanillic acid (HVA) were elevated by 28%, and the HVA/dopamine and dihydroxyphenylacetic acid (DOPAC)/dopamine ratios were elevated by 56% and 34%, respectively, in the BDNF-infused brain hemisphere. BDNF augmented striatal concentrations of HVA and DOPAC and the metabolite/dopamine ratios to even greater extents after (+)-amphetamine injection, when peak rotational effects occurred. Intrastriatal infusions of BDNF produced fewer rotations per minute (1-2.5) after (+)-amphetamine and smaller elevations in HVA and the HVA/dopamine ratio (15% and 30%, respectively) than after supranigral delivery. Neither striatal dopamine, gamma-aminobutyric acid, nor acetylcholine high-affinity uptake or the synthetic enzymes for these neurotransmitters was altered by BDNF. These behavioral and neurochemical effects demonstrate an action of BDNF on dopamine neurons in vivo and are consistent with a potential role for BDNF in the treatment of Parkinson disease. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
