The present study investigated the role of endothelial brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) in cognition. Male adult mice with a selective knockout of BDNF in endothelial cells (BDNFECKO) and their wild-type (WT) littermates were subjected to tests for detection of anxiety- and depression-like behaviors and impaired recognition memory. Neuronal activity and synaptogenesis were assessed from hippocampal levels...
