Abstract excerpt
Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is the most abundant brain neurotrophin and plays a critical role in neuronal growth, survival and plasticity, implicated in the pathophysiology of Bipolar Disorders (BD). The single-nucleotide polymorphism in the BDNF gene (BDNF rs6265) has been associated with decreased hippocampal BDNF secretion and volume in met carriers in different populations, although the val...
