Article Synopsis
- BDNF is crucial for memory functions and synaptic changes in the brain, particularly in areas like the hippocampus.
- A specific genetic variant (Val66Met) in the BDNF gene is linked to how well people remember information, especially emotionally charged words.
- In a study of healthy young adults, the Val66Met variant was found to significantly affect memory performance for emotional words, while it had no impact on neutral word recall.
