Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) has an important role in supporting neuronal survival, which has encouraged studies of its therapeutic potential for neurodegenerative disorders such as ...

Kyeremanteng noted that exercise increases BDNF, particularly in the hippocampus, "a region critical for memory that is affected early in AD." Reduction of Amyloid and tau (a type of protein ...

Neuronal plasticity is a fundamental process in neuronal development and recovery from brain disorders. The Trophin lab focuses on the role of neurotrophic factors, particularly Brain-Derived ...

"Prolonged REM latency was associated with key AD/ADRD pathophysiology, including elevated Aβ deposition and plasma p-tau181 and lower BDNF levels," the authors write. "Given that these ...

The team of researchers discovered that CX3CL1, a protein produced by visceral fat, contributes to maintaining healthy levels of BDNF, a protein which is important for memory, learning and mood ...
