17β-Estradiol Regulates the Sexually Dimorphic Expression of BDNF and TrkB Proteins in the Song System of Juvenile Zebra Finches
Mature brain derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) plays critical roles in development of brain structure and function, including neurogenesis, axon growth, cell survival and processes associated with learning. Expression of this peptide is regulated by estradiol (E2). The zebra finch song system is se...
