Brain‐Derived Neurotrophic Factor in Neuronal Survival and Behavior‐Related Plasticity

Abstract

Neurotrophins are critical to the development and maintenance of the mammalian central nervous system. Among them is brain‐derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), whose synthesis and release is targeted by activation of glutamate receptors. Perturbation of this process probably underlies neurodegenerative and psychiatric disorders. A naturally occurring variation in humans, in the form of a common single‐nucleotide polymorphism in the pro region of the polypeptide at codon 66 (Val66→Met), affects processing of the pro‐BDNF polypeptide and its activation‐dependent release. This variant is associated with differences in the volume of the hippocampal formation and with anxiety and depression‐related phenotypes. Convergent findings supporting a role for BDNF in alterations to hippocampal structure and behavior are found in a “humanized” BDNF transgenic mouse. Also, recent human genetic studies have supported a role of BDNF signaling in addictive behaviors by allele‐, genotype‐, and haplotype‐based association of the TrkB gene, which encodes the cognate receptor for BDNF, with alcohol dependence. A better understanding of the influence of BDNF‐mediated pathways in cell survival and plasticity will aid in developing new approaches to restoring normal function in disease states.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
