Survival of motor neurons and expression of -amyloid protein in the aged rat spinal cord
- The Blood-Brain Barrier Beatriz Achn Buil, PhD candidate in Neuroscience, Institute for Regenerative Medicine (University of Zrich) Did you know that the human brain, though it makes up just 2% of our body weight, accounts for 20% of our energy consumption (Padamsey and Rochefort, 2023)
Discussion Here, we developed a screening assay to identify inducers of Bdnf transcription using primary cultures of cortical cells prepared from Bdnf-Luc mouse embryos
The constitutive (baseline) secretion remains relatively normal, but the activity-dependent secretion, the burst of BDNF that occurs during learning, exercise, and novel experiences, is significantly reduced
