Abstract
The functional role of gangliosides in the mammalian nervous system is still unclear. They might be important for cell-cell recognition during development, for modulation of receptors, for synaptic transmission and plasticity, as well as for interaction with neurotrophic factors during neuronal differentiation and during regeneration after nerve injury. For studies on some of these aspects we have chosen in our laboratory the hippocampus of the rat brain as a model system of the mammalian central nervous system.
