Cerebral circulation Neuronal efficiency Glucose regulation Neurotrophic factors Brain derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) Is the most abundant neurotrophin in the brain growth factor within the brain Serves as a neurotransmitter modulator Participates in use-dependent plasticity mechanisms It supports the survival of many neuronal subtypes BDNF expression is diminished in Alzheimer s disease To summarise Brain plasticity exists Enriched environment is important Exercise is a common feature in enrichment Also Learning improves What about BDNF in Humans?
