The adult brain contains neural stem cells that are capable of proliferating, differentiating
into neurons or glia, and then either surviving or dying. This process of neural-cell …

To determine the role of brain‐derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) in the enhancement of
hippocampal neurogenesis resulting from dietary restriction (DR), heterozygous BDNF …

Dietary restriction (DR) increases the lifespan of rodents and increases their resistance to
several different age-related diseases including cancer and diabetes. Beneficial effects of …

Dietary restriction (DR; reduced calorie intake) increases the lifespan of rodents and
increases their resistance to cancer, diabetes and other age‐related diseases. DR also …

Neurogenesis continues to occur in the adult mammalian hippocampus and is regulated by
both genetic and environmental factors. It is known that exposure to an enriched …

The adult brain contains small populations of neural precursor cells (NPC) that can give rise
to new neurons and glia, and may play important roles in learning and memory, and …

We have investigated a potential mechanism by which a diet, similar in composition to the
typical diet of most industrialized western societies rich in saturated fat and refined sugar …

Although brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is linked with an increasing number of
conditions causing brain dysfunction, its role in the postnatal CNS has remained difficult to …

Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) regulates neuronal development and function.
However, it has been difficult to discern its role in the adult brain in influencing complex …

Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) promotes neuron survival, enhances sprouting,
protects neurons against insult, and may be involved in several aspects of learning and …
