  2. Neurobiological effects of physical exercise - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neurobiological_effects_of...

    Neuroplasticity is the process by which neurons adapt to a disturbance over time, and most often occurs in response to repeated exposure to stimuli. [27] Aerobic exercise increases the production of neurotrophic factors [note 1] (e.g., BDNF, IGF-1, VEGF) which mediate improvements in cognitive functions and various forms of memory by promoting blood vessel formation in the brain, adult ...

    Studies have demonstrated that physical exercise may increase circulating BDNF levels in humans. To identify whether the brain is a source of BDNF during exercise, eight volunteers rowed for 4 h while simultaneous blood samples were obtained from the radial artery and the internal jugular vein.

  4. Brain-derived neurotrophic factor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brain-derived_neurotrophic...

    Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), or abrineurin, [5] is a protein [6] that, in humans, is encoded by the BDNF gene. [ 7 ] [ 8 ] BDNF is a member of the neurotrophin family of growth factors, which are related to the canonical nerve growth factor (NGF), a family which also includes NT-3 and NT-4 /NT-5.

    The brain-derived neurotrophic factor/TrkB system promotes thymocyte survival, as studied in the thymus of mice. [8] Other experiments suggest BDNF is more important and necessary for neuronal survival than other factors. [5] However, this compensatory mechanism is still not known. Specifically, BDNF promotes survival of dorsal root ganglion ...

    Decreased levels of BDNF in the hippocampus may contribute to this neuronal atrophy. [4] In contrast, increased BDNF levels in the hippocampus may enhance neurogenesis, neuronal cell survival and dendritic branching. [4] Suicide victims have been found to have decreased levels of: [4] BDNF mRNA and BDNF proteins; TrkB (receptor for BDNF)

    The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) on Wednesday warned that credit card companies devaluing or canceling reward points, cash back or miles rewards programs may be breaking the law.

  9. Neurotrophin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neurotrophin

    According to the United States National Library of Medicine's medical subject headings, the term neurotrophin may be used as a synonym for neurotrophic factor, [5] but the term neurotrophin is more generally reserved for four structurally related factors: nerve growth factor (NGF), brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), neurotrophin-3 (NT-3), and neurotrophin-4 (NT-4).
