Development of Survival Responsiveness to Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor, Neurotrophin 3 and Neurotrophin 4/5, But Not to Nerve Growth Factor, in Cultured Motoneurons from Chick Embryo Spinal Cord

During embryonic development, most neuronal populations undergo a process usually referred to as naturally occurring neuronal death. For motoneurons (MTNs) of the lumbar spinal cord of chick embryos, this process takes place in a well defined period of time, between embryonic days 6 and 10 (E6-E10)....
