Is silence golden? Effects of auditory stimuli and their absence on adult hippocampal neurogenesis - 3 year(s) ago

We have previously hypothesized that the reason why physical activity increases precursor cell proliferation in adult neurogenesis is that movement serves as non-specific signal to evoke the alertness required to meet cognitive demands. Thereby a pool of immature neurons is generated that are potentially recruitable by subsequent cognitive stimuli. Along these lines, we here tested whether…

Effect of BDNF Val66Met on hippocampal subfields volumes and compensatory interaction with APOE -ε4 in middle-age cognitively unimpaired individuals from the ALFA study - 4 year(s) ago

Current evidence supports the involvement of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) Val66Met polymorphism, and the ε4 allele of APOE gene in hippocampal-dependent functions. Previous studies on the association of Val66Met with whole hippocampal volume included patients of a variety of disorders. However, it remains to be elucidated whether there is an impact of BDNF Val66Met polymorphism on the…
