Aerobic activity is a powerful stimulus for improving mental health and for generating
structural changes in the brain. We review the literature documenting these structural …

Depression and suicidal behavior have recently been shown to be associated with
disturbances in structural and synaptic plasticity. Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) …

The aims of the study were to clarify the impact of storage time and centrifugation strategy on
brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) levels in human serum and plasma samples. In …

Neurotrophin-3 (Ntf3) and brain derived neurotrophic factor (Bdnf) are critical for sensory
neuron survival and establishment of neuronal projections to sensory epithelia in the …

Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) has a neurotrophic support on neuron of central
nervous system (CNS) and is a key molecule in the maintenance of synaptic plasticity and …

Recent findings on stress induced structural plasticity in rodents have identified important
differences between the hippocampus and amygdala. The same chronic immobilization …

The adult mammalian brain can produce new neurons in a process called adult
neurogenesis, which occurs mainly in the subventricular zone (SVZ) and in the hippocampal …

Objective To investigate putative neurobiological mechanisms that link longer-term physical
activity interventions to mental health and cognitive outcomes using randomised controlled …

Perinatal stress mediated through the mother can lead to long-term alterations in stress-
related phenotypes in offspring. The capacity for adaptation to adversity in early life depends …

Background: The continuously increasing association of Alzheimer's disease (AD) with
increased mortality rates indicates an unmet medical need and the critical need for …
