Abstract excerpt
The Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF) Val66Met polymorphism results in reduced activity-dependent BDNF release and has been implicated in schizophrenia. However, effects of the polymorphism on functional dopaminergic and N-methyl-d-aspartate (NMDA) receptor-associated activity remain unclear. We used prepulse inhibition, a measure of sensorimotor gating which is disrupted in schizophrenia, and assessed the...
