Retrograde vs. feedback signal
what is the difference between "retrograde signal" and "feedback signal"
 * A retrograde signal is typically a type of feedback signal. Rob Hurt (talk) 17:43, 17 December 2013 (UTC)

Merge proposal
I'd like to suggest that Retrograde signaling in LTP be merged into this page. We could then make this page a more substantive one, with a full section on LTP, as well as additional information on retrograde transmitters. --Tryptofish (talk) 23:09, 16 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Although we haven't really had a typical merge discussion, I note that another editor is now going ahead with it, and I really doubt that there is any controversy about it, so good! --Tryptofish (talk) 21:32, 18 March 2013 (UTC)

The initiation of retrograde neurotransmission?
Is there an understanding of what initiates retrograde neurotransmission at a post-synaptic dendrite? I ask because I have presumed that it would be the repeated firing of a neuron (rather than just repeated inputs), but if that were the case I'd think that there'd have to be some mechanism for knowledge of the firing of the axon to be propagated back to the synapses which contributed inputs which summed to sufficient threashold to fire it, and I don't know how that back-propagation could occur along soma & dentrites, nor how the any of the synapses could 'know' that they'd been ones that contributed to a firing, nor how they'd know that they'd contributed to repeated firings (nor even if my presumption makes any sense).

Article Evaluation
Lead Section: This section quickly summarizes the points of subject however it is focused on Retrograde signaling in neuroscience versus that in cell biology. I would like to try to merge these subjects together to give a concise and cohesive summary of what is retrograde signaling and highlight the main points. The definition of retrograde signaling is the same for both neuroscience and cell biology but the previous authors chose to split the definitions.

Cell Biology: This section contains a single definition on the broad concept of retrograde signaling in cell biology. There is adequate citations. however more information will be required. For example, different types of signaling, between what organelles, regulation, and mechanism. I also will incorporate slight differences between animal and plant cells.

Neuroscience: This section is better described and more thought out than the cell biology section. However, completely lacks some citation under certain categories or too few citations. For example, the background section of "In neuroscience" lacks any citation in the two paragraphs of information it gives. I will add more citations and try to clean up the section better.

References: References are from credible sources.

Overall: Coverage of the article is neutral and the structure is clear, but the primary problems to address will be the imbalance of information between the two subject matters and the sparse citations where citations would be needed.

Post Changes
New changes: I added citations to the existing content on retrograde signaling on retrograde signaling. I also expanded the cell biology section to include a summary on what retrograde signaling is in animals and plants as well as describing its evolution. I simplified the definition to create something more understandable versus what was there. 64.247.66.33 (talk) 14:04, 21 November 2019 (UTC)
