Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is a neuropeptide that plays numerous important
roles in synaptic development and plasticity. While its importance in fundamental physiology …

Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF)—a member of a small family of secreted proteins
that includes nerve growth factor, neurotrophin 3 and neurotrophin 4—has emerged as a …

During development, neural networks are established in a highly organized manner, which
persists throughout life. Neurotrophins play crucial roles in the developing nervous system …

Learning and memory are fundamental brain functions affected by dietary and
environmental factors. Here, we show that increasing brain magnesium using a newly …

Neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and
Huntington's disease currently affect tens of millions of people worldwide. Unfortunately, as …

Background Brain derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) seems to serve as an important
regulatory mechanism in the growth and development of neurons in many areas of the brain …

Background Mounting evidence indicates that the indigenous gut microbiota exerts long-
lasting programming effects on brain function and behaviour. Objective In this study, we …

The origins of schizophrenia have eluded clinicians and researchers since Kraepelin and
Bleuler began documenting their findings. However, large clinical research efforts in recent …

Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is a potent modulator of synaptic transmission and
plasticity in the CNS, acting both pre-and postsynaptically. We demonstrated recently that …

In the past 15 years numerous reports provided strong evidence that brain-derived
