Brain‐derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is a neurotrophin that is vital to the survival,
growth, and maintenance of neurons in key brain circuits involved in emotional and …

Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) belongs to a family of small secreted proteins that
also include nerve growth factor, neurotrophin 3, and neurotrophin 4. BDNF stands out …

Using behavioral, pharmacological, and molecular methods, lots of studies reveal that
depression is closely related to the abnormal neural plasticity processes occurring in the …

The neurotrophic factor BDNF is an important regulator for the development of brain circuits,
for synaptic and neuronal network plasticity, as well as for neuroregeneration and …

Neurotrophins are a family of proteins that regulate neuronal survival, synaptic function, and
neurotransmitter release, and elicit the plasticity and growth of axons within the adult central …

Levels of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) are reduced in the brain and serum of
depressed patients and at least the reduction in serum levels is reversible upon successful …

Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) modulates hippocampal plasticity and
hippocampal-dependent memory in cell models and in animals. We examined the effects of …

Since its discovery almost three decades ago, the secreted neurotrophin brain-derived
neurotrophic factor (BDNF) has been firmly implicated in the differentiation and survival of …

Neurotrophins have diverse functions in the CNS. Initially synthesized as precursors
(proneurotrophins), they are cleaved to produce mature proteins, which promote neuronal …

Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is a small dimeric protein, structurally related to
nerve growth factor, which is abundantly and widely expressed in the adult mammalian …
