Facts about Brain-derived neurotrophic factor.
Major regulator of synaptic transmission and plasticity at adult synapses in several regions of the CNS. The flexibility of BDNF is emphasized by its contribution to a range of adaptive neuronal reactions including long-term potentiation (LTP), long-term depression (LTD), certain kinds of short-term synaptic plasticity, as well as homeostatic regulation of intrinsic neuronal excitability.
