Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor and Stroke Recovery: A Systematic Literature Review
By: Kian Bassiri
Abstract:
Stroke is a major cause of disability globally, and outcome hinges on the brain's ability for neuroplasticity. Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is one of the most important neurotrophins that maintains neuronal viability, synaptic development, and plasticity. Following stroke, BDNF signaling via its TrkB receptor fac...
