## Abstract Several lines of evidence indicate an involvement of brain derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) in body weight regulation and activity: heterozygous __Bdnf__ knockout mice (__Bdnf__^+/β^) are hyperphagic, obese, and hyperactive; furthermore, central infusion of BDNF leads to severe, doseβ
## Abstract Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a highly heritable and common disorder that partly reflects disturbed dopaminergic function in the brain. Recent genetic studies have shown that candidate genes involved in dopamine signaling and metabolism contribute to ADHD susceptibi
