Proc Natl Acad Sci USA. 95:1998;10884-10889. Using a dominant-negative truncated TrkB receptor expressed exclusively in either pre- or postsynaptic neurons, the authors demonstrate that the transient potentiation induced by BDNF at developing hippocampal synapses results from enhanced presynaptic function.

Using function-blocking TrkB antibodies and TrkB receptor bodies, the authors demonstrated that the particular activity patterns used to induce LTP determined the TrkB dependence. These experiments suggest that varying patterns of synaptic activity may differentially govern the release of neurotrophins.
