African American/Black individuals have been excluded from several lines of prominent
neuroscience research, despite exhibiting disproportionately higher risk factors associated …

Background Besides its well-established role in nerve cell survival and adaptive plasticity,
brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is also involved in energy homeostasis and …

Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is essential for neurocognitive function. This study
aims at establishing a plausible link between level of serum BDNF, functional capacity (FC) …

Objective To assess the relationship of serum brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF)
levels with the subsequent short-term decline in cognitive functioning in community-dwelling …

OBJECTIVES: To test the hypothesis that low circulating brain‐derived neurotrophic factor
(BDNF), a secretory member of the neurotrophin family that has a protective role in …

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 …

Background: Brain-derived neurotropic factor (BDNF) plays a vital role in neuronal survival
and plasticity and facilitates long-term potentiation, essential for memory. Alterations in …

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 …

Background Obesity has a strong association with the risk of developing cognitive
impairment and dementia at a later age. Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and its …

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 …
