Answer
Nerve Growth Factor (NGF), discovered by Rita Levi-Montalcini and Stanley Cohen, is a protein essential for the survival, development, and function of certain neurons. It plays a crucial role in forming connections between nerve cells and their targets. NGF deficiency leads to the degeneration of sympathetic and sensory neurons during development and is implicated in various neurodegenerative diseases.
