Abstract
Changes in neurotrophic factor expression in the brain are part of the stress response. Decreased BDNF may contribute to hippocampal damage that occurs during chronic stress or aging. Stress-induced increases in NT-3 may be important for neural plasticity and adaptation or sensitization to repeated stress. Stress-induced changes in neurotrophic factors may be particularly relevant to the cognitive changes that occur in recurrent depression, aging, and posttraumatic stress disorder.Entities:
