An Overview of Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor and Implications for Excitotoxic Vulnerability in the Hippocampus

Neurotrophin signal involvement in targeting of growing neurons. (a) Both TrkA and p75NTR are activated on the growing neuron, survival and growth continues; (b) on the growing neuron, p75NTR is activated by BDNF, but no TrkA activation takes place, so apoptosis occurs. Adapted from [67].
