Brain-derived Neurotrophic Factor (bdnf) and the Dentate Gyrus Mossy Fibers: Implications for Epilepsy
In the last decade, one of the most avidly studied compounds in the central nervous system (CNS) has been the neurotrophin BDNF. Although historically it had been studied in the context of development, where it plays numerous critical roles, more recent studies have shown striking actions on a number of pathways and processes that are critical for normal function of the adult CNS. In addition, ...
متن کاملAction of brain-derived neurotrophic factor on function and morphology of visual cortical neurons
Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is known to play a role in experience-dependent plasticity of the developing visual cortex. For example, BDNF acutely enhances long-term potentiation and blocks long-term depression in the visual cortex of young rats. Such acute actions of BDNF suggested to be mediated mainly through presynaptic mechanisms. A chronic application of BDNF to the visual cor...

متن کاملDecreased hippocampal brain‐derived neurotrophic factor and impaired cognitive function by hypoglossal nerve transection in rats
The hypoglossal nerve controls tongue movements, and damages of it result in difficulty in mastication and food intake. Mastication has been reported to maintain hippocampus-dependent cognitive function. This study was conducted to examine the effect of tongue motor loss on the hippocampus-dependent cognitive function and its underlying mechanism. Male Sprague Dawley rats were subjected to the ...
متن کاملThe Pattern of Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor Gene Expression in the Hippocampus of Diabetic Rats
Objective(s) The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of regular exercise in preventing diabetes complication in the hippocampus of streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic rat. Materials and Methods A total of 48 male wistar rats were divided into four groups (control, control exercise, diabetic and diabetic exercise). Diabetes was induced by injection of single dose of STZ. Exercise ...
