Genetic variant BDNF (Val66Met) polymorphism alters anxiety-related behavior

TL;DR: A variant BDNF mouse (BDNFMet/Met) is generated that reproduces the phenotypic hallmarks in humans with the variant allele and may play a key role in genetic predispositions to anxiety and depressive disorders.
Journal ArticleDOI

A Genetic Variant BDNF Polymorphism Alters Extinction Learning in Both Mouse and Human

TL;DR: Parallel phenotypes in mice and humans resulting from a common single-nucleotide polymorphism in the brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) gene, which is involved in anxiety-related behavior are identified.
Journal ArticleDOI

Neuronal release of proBDNF

TL;DR: Using new tools to quantitate endogenous BDNF isoforms, it is found that mouse neurons secrete both proBDNF and mature BDNF, and BDNF actions are developmentally regulated by secretion ofPro–brain-derived neurotrophic factor or mature BD NF and by local expression of p75 and TrkB.
Journal ArticleDOI

Altered fear learning across development in both mouse and human.

TL;DR: The results suggest a lack of synaptic plasticity in the prefrontal regions, during adolescence, is associated with blunted regulation of fear extinction, which provides insight into optimizing treatment outcomes for when, during development, exposure therapies may be most effective.
