متن کاملThe brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) gene Val66Met polymorphism affects memory performance in older adults.
Objective: Memory impairment is an important contributor to the reduction in quality of life experienced by older adults, and genetic risk factors seem to contribute to variance in age-related cognitive decline. Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is an important nerve growth factor linked with development and neural plasticity. The Val66Met polymorphism in the BDNF gene has been associate...
متن کاملSleep – More Local and Complex than Previously Thought?
pocampal sharp wave ripples (hSWR) a replay of the memory trace occurs, which is then “transferred” into the cortex via sleep spindles and perhaps slow oscillations. At this point it is important to note that for one most evidence regarding this theory is of correlative nature and therefore cannot conclude causality. Up until now only two studies in rodents could show more than correlational ev...
متن کاملEffects of the BDNF Val66Met Polymorphism and Met Allele Load on Declarative Memory Related Neural Networks
It has been suggested that the BDNF Val66Met polymorphism modulates episodic memory performance via effects on hippocampal neural circuitry. However, fMRI studies have yielded inconsistent results in this respect. Moreover, very few studies have examined the effect of met allele load on activation of memory circuitry. In the present study, we carried out a comprehensive analysis of the effects ...
متن کاملHistoplasma capsulatum: More Widespread than Previously Thought
Histoplasmosis is an endemic mycosis caused by a dimorphic fungus with two distinct varieties pathogenic for humans: Histoplasma capsulatum var. capsulatum and H. capsulatum var. duboisii. The latter is known to be restricted to sub-Saharan Africa, whereas the former is distributed worldwide. However, general textbooks of medical mycology when considering the geographic distribution of H. capsu...
