  • Title: An antisense oligonucleotide to brain-derived neurotrophic factor delays postural compensation following unilateral labyrinthectomy in guinea pig.
    Author: Bolger C, Sansom AJ, Smith PF, Darlington CL.
    Journal: Neuroreport; 1999 May 14; 10(7):1485-8. PubMed ID: 10380967.
    Abstract:
    An antisense oligonucleotide to brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) was delivered by osmotic mini-pump at a 1 mM concentration via a cannula into the ipsilateral vestibular nucleus complex from 15 to 56h following unilateral labyrinthectomy in guinea pigs. Compared with the control groups, vestibular compensation of roll head tilt was significantly delayed (p < 0.05), while compensation of spontaneous nystagmus and yaw head tilt was unaffected. These results suggest that neurotrophins such as BDNF may be involved in specific aspects of the vestibular compensation process.
