Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is a crucial neurotrophic factor adding to neurons'
development and endurance. The amount of BDNF present in the brain determines …

Genetic factors, such as apolipoprotein E (ApoE) polymorphisms, are thought to play an
important role in the etiology of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Recent association studies have …

Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) promotes the survival and differentiation of
hippocampal, cortical, and basal forebrain cholinergic neurons. However, the efficacy of …

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common form of dementia worldwide. β-amyloid
peptide (Aβ) is currently assumed to be the main cause of synaptic dysfunction and cognitive …

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

The neurotrophin brain derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is an important growth factor in
the CNS. Deficits in transport of this secretory protein could underlie neurodegenerative …

Several lines of evidence have suggested altered functions of the brain-derived
neurotrophic factor (BDNF) in the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative diseases including …

Due to the increasing number of progressive dementias in the population, numerous studies
are being conducted that seek to determine risk factors, biomarkers and pathological …

Abstract Background/Aim: Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is associated with the
hippocampus and the nigrostriatal dopaminergic function. Data showing that its level was …

In the nervous system, both the shape and connectivity of neurons are strongly influenced by
soluble, extracellular factors. Indeed, we recently demonstrated that after binding to …
