Dynamic changes in DNA methylation of stress-associated genes (OXTR, BDNF) after acute psychosocial stress [PDF]
, 2012 Environmentally induced epigenetic alterations are related to mental health. We investigated quantitative DNA methylation status before and after an acute psychosocial stressor in two stress-related genes: oxytocin receptor (OXTR) and brain-derived ...

Effect of boxing exergame addition on brain-derived neurotrophic factor of elderly women [PDF]
Romanian Journal of NeurologyBackground and objectives. The elderly population is growing rapidly. The aging process will result in the decline of cognitive functions. The frequency of cognitive impairment is higher in women than in men, resulting in a greater risk of decreased ...

Expression of hippocampal brain-derived neurotrophic factor and its receptors in Stanley consortium brains [PDF]
, 2009 Several lines of evidence implicate BDNF in the pathophysiology of psychiatric illness. BDNF polymorphisms have also been associated with the risk of schizophrenia and mood disorders.

BDNF and memory processing [PDF]
Neuropharmacology, 2014 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.

Associations of BDNF/BDNF-AS SNPs with Depression, Schizophrenia, and Bipolar Disorder
Journal of Personalized Medicine, 2023 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 ...

The effect of morphine upon DNA methylation in ten regions of the rat brain
Epigenetics, 2017 Morphine is one of the most effective analgesics in medicine. However, its use is associated with the development of tolerance and dependence. Recent studies demonstrating epigenetic changes in the brain after exposure to opiates have provided insight ...

Effect of treadmill exercise on miR-191-5p expression in the hippocampus of sleep-deprived rats [PDF]
Journal of Epigenetics, 2023 The positive and protective effects of regular exercise on the learning and memory impairments induced by sleep deprivation (SD) have been demonstrated in previous studies, and recently, it was found that miR-191-5p by targeting BDNF as an essential ...
