Impact of the BDNF Val66Met polymorphism on cognition: implications for behavioral genetics.

The Neuroscientist : a review journal bringing neurobiology, neurology and psychiatry - 1 Oct 2012

Dincheva Iva, Glatt Charles E, Lee Francis S

Abstract excerpt

Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is a member of the neurotrophin growth factor family and is implicated as a modulator of neuronal survival and differentiation, synaptic plasticity, and higher order cognitive functions such as learning and memory. A common single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) has been identified in the human BDNF gene (BDNF Val66Met) that leads to decreased BDNF secretion and impairments...
