BDNF Regulates the Expression of Fragile X Mental Retardation Protein mRNA in the Hippocampus

Both fragile X mental retardation protein (FMRP) and brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) are implicated in the maturation of neurons and in the higher cognitive functions. We have investigated whether FMRP and BDNF are reciprocally regulated in neurons. Exposure of cultured hippocampal neurons...
