Journal ArticleDOI

The BDNF val66met polymorphism affects activity-dependent secretion of BDNF and human memory and hippocampal function

TL;DR: A role is demonstrated for BDNF and its val/met polymorphism in human memory and hippocampal function and it is suggested val/ met exerts these effects by impacting intracellular trafficking and activity-dependent secretion of BDNF.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effect of COMT Val108/158 Met genotype on frontal lobe function and risk for schizophrenia.

TL;DR: The data suggest that the COMT Val allele, because it increases prefrontal dopamine catabolism, impairs prefrontal cognition and physiology, and by this mechanism slightly increases risk for schizophrenia.
Journal ArticleDOI

Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor val66met Polymorphism Affects Human Memory-Related Hippocampal Activity and Predicts Memory Performance

TL;DR: The relationship of the BDNF val66met genotype and hippocampal activity during episodic memory processing using blood oxygenation level-dependent functional magnetic resonance imaging and a declarative memory task in healthy individuals suggests that the basic effects of BDNF signaling on hippocampal function in experimental animals are important in humans.
Journal ArticleDOI

Catechol O-methyltransferase val158-met genotype and individual variation in the brain response to amphetamine.

TL;DR: Basic evidence of an inverted-“U” functional-response curve to increasing dopamine signaling in the prefrontal cortex is extended and individuals with the met/met catechol O-methyltransferase genotype appear to be at increased risk for an adverse response to amphetamine.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor val66met Polymorphism and Variation in Human Cortical Morphology

TL;DR: It is shown that, in magnetic resonance imaging scans of a large sample of normal individuals, this polymorphism affects the anatomy of the hippocampus and prefrontal cortex, identifying a genetic mechanism of variation in brain morphology related to learning and memory.
