Brain-derived neurotrophic factor in megakaryocytes [PDF]
The biosynthesis of endogenous BDNF has thus far been examined in neurons where it is expressed at very low levels, in an activity-dependent fashion. In humans, BDNF has long been known to accumulate in circulating platelets, at levels far higher than in

The impact of brain-derived neurotrophic factor gene polymorphisms on post-stroke naming in aphasia. [PDF]
Post-stroke aphasia, or language deficits after stroke, afflicts 20-30% of survivors and often persists into the chronic phase. The protein brain-derived neurotrophic factor has been identified as important for neuroplasticity, and is regulated by the ...

The trigeminal root entry zone is the zone at which the myelination switches from peripheral Schwann cells to central oligodendrocytes. Its special anatomical and physiological structure renders it susceptible to nerve injury.

Background: Aerobic exercise could produce a positive effect on the brain by releasing brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF). In untrained healthy humans there seems to be a linear correlation between exercise duration and the positive effect of acute

Ras p21 protein promotes survival and fiber outgrowth of cultured embryonic neurons [PDF]
Although evidence obtained with the PC12 cell line has suggested a role for the ras oncogene proteins in the signal transduction of nerve growth factor-mediated fiber outgrowth, little is known about the signal transduction mechanisms involved in the ...

Nerve growth factor, brain-derived neurotrophic factor, and the chronobiology of mood: a new insight into the "neurotrophic hypothesis" [PDF]
The light information pathways and their relationship with the body rhythms have generated a new insight into the neurobiology and the neurobehavioral sciences, as well as into the clinical approaches to human diseases associated with disruption of ...

Abnormal expression of cerebrospinal fluid cation chloride cotransporters in patients with Rett Syndrome [PDF]
Objective: Rett Syndrome is a progressive neurodevelopmental disorder caused mainly by mutations in the gene encoding methyl-CpG-binding protein 2. The relevance of MeCP2 for GABAergic function was previously documented in animal models. In these models,
