Nerve growth factor (NGF) is a potent protein identified more than 40 years ago, which exerts profound effects on components of the peripheral and central nervous systems. There are several excellent reviews covering many aspects of the extensive work that has allowed NGF to gain a prominent place in the study of the nervous system. most of which have addressed issues related to the known actions of NGF on sensitive neurons (Bradshaw, 1978, 1983 Greene and Shooter, 1980 Thoenen and Barde, 1980 Levi-Montalcini, 1987 Rush et al., 1992 Schecterson and Bothwell,...
