Background Peripheral brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is decreased in acute
major depressive disorder (MDD) and bipolar disorder (BD) and recovered after treatment …

Exercise is known to induce a cascade of molecular and cellular processes that support
brain plasticity. Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is an essential neurotrophin that is …

Psychedelic drugs have reemerged as tools to treat several brain disorders. Cultural
attitudes toward them are changing, and scientists are once again investigating the neural …

In general, it is well recognized that both acute physical exercises and regular physical
training influence brain plasticity and cognitive functions positively. However, growing …

Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is involved in synaptic plasticity, neuronal
differentiation and survival of neurons. Observations of decreased serum BDNF levels in …

The aims of the study were to clarify the impact of storage time and centrifugation strategy on
brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) levels in human serum and plasma samples. In …

Several clinical studies on major depressive disorder (MDD) have shown that blood brain-
derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF)–a factor used to index neuroplasticity–is associated with …

Abstract Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF) has attracted increasing interest as
potential biomarker to support the diagnosis or monitor the efficacy of therapies in brain …

Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) has a central role in brain plasticity by mediating
changes in cortical thickness and synaptic density in response to physical activity and …

Recent evidence supports 'the neurotrophin hypothesis of depression'in its prediction that
brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is involved in depression. However, some key …
