Effect of aerobic training on heat shock protein 27 and brain-derived neurotrophic factor in hippocampus and prefrontal cortex of type II diabetic rats [PDF]
Background: According to the experimental studies, the levels of heat shock protein 27 (HSP27) and brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) are decreased in diabetes which is associated with impaired cognitive function in the brain.

The Role of BDNF Val66met Polymorphism on the Learning of a Motor Sequence Task: The Challenge of Visual-Spatial and Motor Coordination Systems [PDF]
Introduction: Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is a protein that is highly expressed in the structures of the central nervous system and affects synaptic plasticity and the acquisition of motor and cognitive skills.

Protective effect of Allium atroviolaceum-synthesized SeNPs on aluminum-induced brain damage in mice
This study evaluated the possible neuroprotective effect of Allium atroviolaceum extract (AaE)-synthesized selenium nanoparticles (SeNPs) on aluminum (Al)-induced neurotoxicity in mice, explaining the likely mechanisms. Mice were divided into five groups:
