PTSD recovery, spatial processing, and the val66met polymorphism
Treatment for Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is not always effective, and as the increasing demand for better management of PTSD and combatrelated PTSD (CR-PTSD) infiltrates the UK media, so does a pressing need to understand individual variance in disease aetiology. Recent research in psychology, neuroscience and genetics has separately investigated how and why PTSD affects individuals ...
متن کاملAssociation between the BDNF Val66Met Polymorphism and Chronicity of Depression
OBJECTIVE Both clinical and biological factors influence the course of depressive disorders. This study tested for associations between the brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) gene at the Val66Met locus and the course of major depressive disorder (MDD). METHODS Three hundred ten Korean subjects (209 patients, 101 controls) were genotyped for rs6265 at nucleotide 196 (G/A), which produces...
متن کاملBdnf Val66met Polymorphism Modulates Sleep Intensity
335 BDNF Genotype and Sleep Intensity—Bachmann et al Moreover, in adult rats, the degree of exploratory behavior predicts the level of BDNF as well as of SWA during subsequent sleep.10 Finally, pharmacological experiments such as injections of exogenous BDNF, an anti-BDNF antibody, and an inhibitor of tyrosine kinase B receptor, the high-affinity BDNF receptor, consistently suggest that this re...
متن کاملValence-specific effects of BDNF Val66Met polymorphism on dopaminergic stress and reward processing in humans.
Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) levels in dopaminergic (DA) cells within the ventral tegmental area (VTA)/nucleus accumbens (NAc) circuitry appear to be a candidate mechanism for the neuroadaptive changes that follow stress and reward responses in animal models. However, the role of the BDNF gene variants in responses to salient cues through DA neurotransmission in humans remains unexp...
متن کاملAn adaptive role for BDNF Val66Met polymorphism in motor recovery in chronic stroke.
Little is known about the influence of genetic diversity on stroke recovery. One exception is the polymorphism in brain derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), a critical neurotrophin for brain repair and plasticity. Humans have a high-frequency single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in the prodomain of the BDNF gene. Previous studies show that the BDNF Val66Met variant negatively affects motor learn...
