Question

In development, neurotrophins ____. during adulthood, they ____.​ ​preserve neurons; produce apoptosis ​produce apoptosis; increase neuronal branching ​facilitate differentiation; facilitate migration ​preserve neurons; increase neuronal branching

Answer 1

In development, neurotrophins ​preserve neurons. During adulthood, they increase neuronal branching.

Answer 2

Neurotrophins are a family of proteins that are responsible for development, maintenance, and function of vertebrate nervous systems. During nerve development, neurotrophins help nerve cells decide if they are going to live or die. In development, neurotrophins ​preserve neurons. During adulthood, they increase neuronal branching.
