Retrograde BDNF to TrkB signaling promotes synapse elimination in the developing cerebellum

During development, synapses are selectively strengthened or eliminated by activity-dependent competition. Here, the authors show that BDNF-TrkB retrograde signaling is a “punishment” signal that leads to elimination of climbing fiber-onto-Purkinje cell synapses in the developing cerebellum.
