## Abstract Typical and atypical antipsychotic drugs, though both effective, act on different neurotransmitter receptors and are dissimilar in some clinical effects and side effects. The typical antipsychotic drug haloperidol has been shown to cause a decrease in the expression of brain‐derived neu

Abstract
The role of brain‐derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) in recognition memory was investigated by locally infusing oligodeoxynucleotides (ODNs) into perirhinal cortex, a region of the temporal lobe essential for familiarity discrimination. Antisense but not sense BDNF ODN impaired consolidation of long‐term (24h) but not shorter‐term (20min) recognition memory. © 2010 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.

## Abstract Previous studies have suggested that the release of brain‐derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) from microglia in spinal cord is necessary for maintaining pain hypersensitivity after nerve injury. However, little is known about its role in cancer‐induced bone pain (CIBP), which is in some
Levels of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and neurotrophin-3 (NT3) mRNA expression were measured in a rodent model of traumatic brain injury (TBI) following unilateral injury to the cerebral cortex. To obtain reliable data on the co-expression of neurotrophin genes, adjacent coronal section
Adult rat retinal ganglion cells (RGC) undergo degeneration after optic nerve transection. Studies have shown that exogenously applied neurotrophic factors such as brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) can attenuate axotomy-induced as well as developmental RGC death. Here, we examined whether gli
## Abstract A growing body of recent evidence indicates that ATP plays an important role in neuronal–glial communications. In this study, the authors demonstrated that extracellular ATP elicits the gene expression of brain‐derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), especially __BDNF__ exon IV mRNA, in pri
