The survival of nerve cells, as well as their performance of some specialized functions, is regulated by chemicals known as neurotrophic factors, which are produced in the bodies of animals, including humans. ███

Not supported, because we have no evidence that other neurotrophic factors were involved in the chick embryo experiments conducted by Levi-Montalcini. We know other factors have been identified in subsequent research, but we don’t know whether those factors are relevant to chick embryos.

Not supported, because the author never compares the level of undrestanding of NGF compared to other factors. We have no reason to believe NGF isn’t equally understood or even more understood than other factors.

Not supported, because we don’t know whether Levi-Montalcini herself identified other factors besides NGF. We know that other factors have been identified, but we don’t know whether they were identified by Levi-Montalcini.
