Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor mRNA Expression in the Brain of the Teleost Fish, Anguilla anguilla, the European Eel
The spatial expression pattern of Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF) mRNA in the brain of the European eel (Anguilla anguilla) was determined using non-radioactive in situ hybridization, and mapped and compared to that of other vertebrates. Riboprobes were prepared based on a partial cDNA codi...
