Abstract
In a recent publication in Neuron, Choe et al. (2015) demonstrate that brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) signaling mediates salt-induced blood pressure elevation by increasing the excitability of hypothalamic vasopressin-secreting neurons. These findings suggest complex roles for BDNF in adaptive cardiovascular responses to physiological challenges and in the pathogenesis of hypertension.Entities:
