Glucocorticoid affects dendritic transport of BDNF-containing vesicles
Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is essential for neuronal survival, differentiation, and functions in the central nervous system (CNS). Because BDNF protein is sorted into secretory vesicles at the trans-Golgi network in the cell body after translation, transport of BDNF-containing vesicles to the secretion sites is an important process for its function. Here we examined the effect of ...
متن کاملMammary gland development and lactation are controlled by different glucocorticoid receptor activities.
OBJECTIVE Regulation of physiological processes by glucocorticoids is achieved by binding to the glucocorticoid receptor (GR) and subsequent modulation of gene expression, either by DNA binding-dependent mechanisms or via protein-protein interaction with other transcription factors. The purpose of this study was to define the molecular mechanism of GR underlying the control of mammary gland dev...
متن کاملOn-Line Confidence Machines Are Well-Calibrated
Transductive Confidence Machine (TCM) and its computationally efficient modification, Inductive Confidence Machine (ICM), are ways of complementing machine-learning algorithms with practically useful measures of confidence. We show that when TCM and ICM are used in the on-line mode, their confidence measures are well-calibrated, in the sense that predictive regions at confidence level 1 − δ wil...
متن کاملAction control is mediated by prefrontal BDNF and glucocorticoid receptor binding.
Stressor exposure biases decision-making strategies from those based on the relationship between actions and their consequences to others restricted by stimulus-response associations. Chronic stressor exposure also desensitizes glucocorticoid receptors (GR) and diminishes motivation to acquire food reinforcement, although causal relationships are largely not established. We show that a history ...
متن کاملDecreased levels of BDNF protein in Alzheimer temporal cortex are independent of BDNF polymorphisms.
Levels of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) are reduced in specific brain regions in Alzheimer's disease (AD) and BDNF gene polymorphisms have been suggested to influence AD risk, hippocampal function, and memory. We investigated whether the polymorphisms at the BDNF 196 and 270 loci were associated with AD in a clinical and neuropathological cohort of 116 AD cases and 77 control subject...
