Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) modulates hippocampal plasticity and
hippocampal-dependent memory in cell models and in animals. We examined the effects of�…

BDNF plays a critical role in activity-dependent neuroplasticity underlying learning and
memory in the hippocampus. A frequent single nucleotide polymorphism in the targeting�…

The Val66Met polymorphism in the brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) gene results in
a defect in regulated release of BDNF and affects episodic memory and affective behaviors�…

Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) plays a critical role in activity-dependent
neuroplasticity underlying learning and memory in the hippocampus. Recent human studies�…

Most growth factors are initially synthesized as precursor proteins and subsequently
processed into their mature form by proteolytic cleavage, resulting in simultaneous removal�…

Brain-derived neurotrophic factor has emerged as one of the most important molecules
involved in memory. Its wide role in different types of memories that depend on different�…

Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) regulates neuronal development and function.
However, it has been difficult to discern its role in the adult brain in influencing complex�…

Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) may exert contrasting effects depending on its
different subcellular sites of action (soma, dendrites, axons). These contrasting effects may�…

A variation in the BDNF gene (val66met) affects the function of BDNF in neurons, predicts
variation in human memory, and is associated with several neurological and psychiatric�…

Information storage in the brain is a temporally graded process involving different memory
phases as well as different structures in the mammalian brain. Cortical plasticity seems to be�…
