Abstract: The neurotrophins were named after their ability to regulate the survival and differentiation of nerve cells. But they are also thought to be involved in the processes that underlie neuronal plasticity, and a new report indicates that their function goes even further than this -- they not only modulate chemical transmission, but, like the more classical neurotransmitters, they mediate it.
