Abstract excerpt
It has been reported that the brain derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) has some functional roles in inducing plasticity in the adult human brain and the Val66Met BDNF polymorphism affects the plasticity induction. In contrast, some long lasting effects were not fully induced in subjects with non-Val-Val polymorphism. In this communication, we retrospectively investigated whether this polymorphism affects the...
