Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is a member of the family of neurotrophins and promotes diverse effects in neurons including development, maintenance of function, synaptic plasticity, and survival in different animal models. We present advances in our understanding of the genomics of the BDNF gene (bdnf) and its regulation by calcium-activated transcription factors, including cAMP response...
