The BDNF val(66)met polymorphism is not related to motor function or short-term cortical plasticity in elderly subjects.

Brain research - 7 Feb 2013

McHughen Stephanie A, Cramer Steven C

Abstract excerpt

The brain derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) val(66)met polymorphism affects function of the motor system in young subjects, but little is known about motor system effects in the elderly. The current study assessed motor system physiology and behavior, plus a measure of short-term motor cortex plasticity using transcranial magnetic stimulation, in 38 elderly subjects, then examined whether findings varied in...
