Brain derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) polymorphisms and memory in healthy adults with university education

The polymorphisms (C270T) and Val66Met of the BDNF gene are related to diverse cognitive processes in neurological and psychiatric conditions. But little is known about its relations with cognitive processes in healthy people. The present study explored the relationship of the C270T and Val66Met polymorphisms with implicit memory (semantic and perceptual priming tasks), semantic explicit memory (lexical access), and episodic explicit memory (free recall). In total, 135 healthy volunteers between [...]
