- 英文摘要: The last decade has witnessed advances in understand-ing the roles of receptors of neurotrophin and glutamatein the vestibular system.In the first section of this review,the biological actions of neurotrophins and their recep-tors in the peripheral and central vestibular systems aresummarized.Emphasis will be placed on the roles ofneurotrophins in developmental plasticity and in themaintenance of vestibular function in the adult animal,This is reviewed in relation to the developmental expres-sion pattern of neurotrophins and their receptors withinthe vestibular nuclei.The second part is focused on thefunctional role of different glutamate receptors on cen-tral vestibular neurons.The developmental expressionpattern of glutamate receptor subunits within the vestib-ular nuclei is reviewed in relation to the potential role ofglutamate receptors in regulating the development ofvestibular function.
