Brain derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) seems to be involved in regulation of synaptic
plasticity and neurogenesis. BDNF plasma and serum levels have been associated with …

Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) plays a role in the maintenance and function of
neurons. Although persons with Alzheimer's disease have lower cortical levels of BDNF …

We used a complete battery of geriatric and psychometric tests to evaluate whether plasma-
borne brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), a master molecule in neuroplasticity, is …

Aims: Our purpose was to study the link between serum brain-derived neurotrophic factor
(BDNF) levels and neuropsychological functioning through the Texas Alzheimer's Research …

Background Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is an activity-dependent secreted
protein that is critical to organization of neuronal networks and synaptic plasticity, especially …

Objective: The clinical relationship between brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and
cognitive function or mild cognitive impairment (MCI) is not well-understood. The purpose of …

Importance In animal studies, brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) has been shown to
impact neuronal survival and function and improve synaptic plasticity and long-term …

The beneficial effects of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF)—a member of the
neurotrophin family—on cognitive function or dementia are well established in both rodents …

The current search for biomarkers that are diagnostic and/or prognostic of Alzheimer's
disease (AD) is of vital importance given the rapidly aging population. It was recently …

There is little information on the dynamics of BDNF in the CSF in the continuum between
healthy aging, MCI and AD. We included 128 older adults (77 with amnestic MCI, 26 with AD …
