Regulation of synaptic transmission by BDNF : effects on NMDA receptor-mediated mEPSCs

Brain derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) plays an important role in long-term synaptic potentiation (LTP) in the hippocampus, partially due to the upregulation of translation activity. However, the molecular mechanisms are not fully understood. In this work we investigated the effect of BDNF of the...
