The Met-allele of the BDNF Val66Met polymorphism enhances task switching in elderly.

Neurobiology of aging - 1 Dec 2011

Abstract excerpt

In this study we examined the relevance of the functional brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) Val66Met polymorphism as a modulator of task-switching performance in healthy elderly by using behavioral and event-related potential (ERP) measures. Task switching was examined in a cue-based and a memory-based paradigm. Val/Val carriers were generally slower, showed enhanced reaction time variability and higher...
