Neurotrophin contribution in plasticity of neurotransmitter's segregation

What is it about?

We demonstrate that in response to the functional requirements of its environment, neurons can selectively route a different type of transmitters to each one of their synapsis.

Why is it important?

Neurons have the capability to route their transmitters to different synapsis in response of the functional requirements and that neurotrophins contribute to this neuronal dynamic. This can explained some functional adaptations of the nervous system in different physio-pathological conditions.
