Abstract
Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) induced a significant neurite extension of antennal lobe (AL) neurons from the silk moth Bombyx mori in culture on lamini/ concanavalin A-coated dishes, in comparison with smaller effect of 20-hydroxyecdy-sone (20-HE). But the effect fur neurite extension by 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) could not be found. A significant increase in the number of new primary branches from the principal neurites of AL neurons was also shown in culture with BDNF and 5-HT, but not with 20-HE. (omitted)
