Journal ArticleDOI

LRRTM1 on chromosome 2p12 is a maternally suppressed gene that is associated paternally with handedness and schizophrenia

TL;DR: It is shown that LRRTM1 is expressed during the development of specific forebrain structures, and thus could influence neuronal differentiation and connectivity, and the first putative genetic effect on variability in human brain asymmetry is found.
Journal ArticleDOI

Identification of cis-elements and transcription factors regulating neuronal activity-dependent transcription of human BDNF gene.

TL;DR: The results of this study have identified the cis-elements and transcription factors regulating neuronal activity-dependent transcription of human BDNF gene and demonstrated that CRE and PasRE elements in hBDNF promoter IX are required for the induction of this promoter by neuronal activity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Locally translated mTOR controls axonal local translation in nerve injury.

TL;DR: Results show that mTOR (mechanistic target of rapamycin) was activated and then up-regulated in injured axons, owing to local translation of mTOR messenger RNA (mRNA), and this mRNA was transported into axons by the cell size–regulating RNA-binding protein nucleolin.
Journal ArticleDOI

Differential regulation of Bdnf expression in cortical neurons by class-selective histone deacetylase inhibitors

TL;DR: These findings implicate class II HDACs in transcriptional regulation of Bdnf and indicate that class II selective HDAC inhibitors may have potential as therapeutics for nervous system disorders.
Journal ArticleDOI

Tissue-specific and neural activity-regulated expression of human BDNF gene in BAC transgenic mice

TL;DR: This is the first study to show that human BDNF gene is regulated by neural activity, and genomic region covering 67 kb of humanBDNF gene, 84 kb of upstream and 17 kb of downstream sequences is sufficient to drive tissue-specific and kainic acid-induced expression of the reporter gene in transgenic mice.
