title: BDNF and memory formation and storage.
abstract: During the past decade, a large body of evidence has implicated BDNF in synaptic plasticity. In this review, we focus on the newer experiments that involve BDNF in different aspects of learning and memory processing-in particular, in memory persistence and storage.
