The associations between serum brain-derived neurotrophic factor, potential confounders, and cognitive decline: a longitudinal study.

Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) plays a role in the maintenance and function of neurons. Although persons with Alzheimer's disease have lower cortical levels of BDNF, evidence regarding the association between circulating BDNF and cognitive function is conflicting. We sought to determi...
