Cocaine/crack abstinence periods have higher risk of relapse. Abstinence as initial part of
the recovery process is affected by learning and memory changes that could preserve the …

Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and its precursor, proBDNF, are known to
significantly contribute to brain homeostasis, neuroplasticity, and neuronal remodeling …

BACKGROUND: Cocaine dependence is associated with high relapse rates, but few
biological markers associated with relapse outcomes have been identified. Extending …

Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is involved in cocaine craving in humans and drug
seeking in rodents. Based on this, the aim of this study was to explore the possible role of …

Recent reports suggest that brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) could be a biomarker
for relapse, drug craving and withdrawal severity. In particular, elevated BDNF levels among …

Preclinical studies indicate that brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is involved in
neuroplastic changes underlying enduring cocaine-seeking following withdrawal. However …

Background: Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is a neurotrophin that has long been
studied in the field of addiction and its importance in regulating drug addiction–related …

Due to the complexity of crack-cocaine addiction treatment, the identification of biological
markers that could help determining the impact or outcome of drug use has become a major …

Background/Aims: Considering the role of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) in
memory processes and its peripheral response during the detoxification of cocaine, the aim …

Background Crack heroin is a novel opiate derivative with highly addictive properties and
unfamiliar health consequences. It causes a variety of brain dysfunctions that are mediated …
