Brain Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF) is a key molecule involved in plastic changes
related to learning and memory. The expression of BDNF is highly regulated, and can lead …

Over the past two decades it became evident that the immune system plays a central role in
modulating learning, memory and neural plasticity. Under normal quiescent conditions …

▪ Abstract Neurotrophins regulate development, maintenance, and function of vertebrate
nervous systems. Neurotrophins activate two different classes of receptors, the Trk family of …

Extensive research on humans suggests that exercise could have benefits for overall health
and cognitive function, particularly in later life. Recent studies using animal models have …

The neurotrophins are a family of proteins that are essential for the development of the
vertebrate nervous system. Each neurotrophin can signal through two different types of cell …

Neurotrophic factors, particularly brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and other
members of the neurotrophin family, are central mediators of the activity-dependent plasticity …

The influence of chronic electroconvulsive seizure (ECS) or antidepressant drug treatments
on expression of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and its receptor, trkB, was …

We found that a short exercise period enhanced cognitive function on the Morris water maze
(MWM), such that exercised animals were significantly better than sedentary controls at …

MicroRNAs are small, non-coding RNAs that control the translation of target messenger
RNAs, thereby regulating critical aspects of plant and animal development. In the …

Previous studies demonstrated that antidepressant treatment increases the expression of
brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) in rat hippocampus. The present study was …
