The physiology of regulated BDNF release [PDF]
The neurotrophic factor BDNF is an important regulator for the development of brain circuits, for synaptic and neuronal network plasticity, as well as for neuroregeneration and neuroprotection.

Physical exercise during encoding improves vocabulary learning in young female adults [PDF]
Acute physical activity has been repeatedly shown to improve various cognitive functions. However, there have been no investigations comparing the effects of exercise during verbal encoding versus exercise prior to encoding on long-term memory ...

BDNF and memory processing [PDF]
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 structures as well as its involvement in distinct memory stages points at BDNF as one likely target to treat cognitive impairments and anxiety-related memory disorders.

BDNF: an indicator of insomnia? [PDF]
In the last decade, brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) has become increasingly accepted as a central mediator of the effects of stress on neuronal plasticity and its implication for psychopathology. Neurotrophic functions of BDNF are implicated with neuronal survival, learning, memory, appetite and sleep.1, 2 The neurotrophin hypothesis is based ...

BDNF Expression in Cortical GABAergic Interneurons [PDF]
Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is a major neuronal growth factor that is widely expressed in the central nervous system. It is synthesized as a glycosylated precursor protein, (pro)BDNF and post-translationally converted to the mature form, (m ...

Major depressive disorder (MDD) affects millions of people worldwide and is a leading cause of disability. Several theories have been proposed to explain its pathological mechanisms, and the “neurotrophin hypothesis of depression” involves one of the ...

BDNF as a Promising Therapeutic Agent in Parkinson’s Disease
Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) promotes neuroprotection and neuroregeneration. In animal models of Parkinson’s disease (PD), BDNF enhances the survival of dopaminergic neurons, improves dopaminergic neurotransmission and motor performance ...

PTSD risk is associated with BDNF Val66Met and BDNF overexpression [PDF]
Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), which regulates neuronal survival, growth, differentiation and synapse formation, broadly regulates the stress response.1 A common single-nucleotide polymorphism in the BDNF gene (Val66Met) influences hippocampal volume,2 memory3 and appears related to susceptibility to a variety of neuropsychiatric disorders ...

Associations of BDNF/BDNF-AS SNPs with Depression, Schizophrenia, and Bipolar Disorder
Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF) is crucial for various aspects of neuronal development and function, including synaptic plasticity, neurotransmitter release, and supporting neuronal differentiation, growth, and survival. It is involved in the formation and preservation of dopaminergic, serotonergic, GABAergic, and cholinergic neurons ...
