    Description

    This study profiled neurotrophin and neurotrophin receptor gene expression within microdissected CA1 neurons along with regional hippocampal dissections from participants in the Rush Religious Orders Study (RROS). The RROS participants included older religious clergy who have agreed to medical and psychological evaluation each year and brain donation after death. This study began in 1993 and has enrolled...

    Description

    This study investigated whether the Alzheimer’s disease (AD) pathological lesions diffuse plaques (DPs), neuritic plaques (NPs), and neurofibrillary tangles (NFTs). For this study, downregulation of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and its cognate neurotrophin receptor, TrkB, were observed during the progression of dementia. They performed negative binomial (NB) regressions using gene expression...
