A novel knockout mouse model of the noncoding antisense Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (Bdnf) gene displays increased endogenous Bdnf protein and improved memory function following exercise

Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (Bdnf) expression is tightly controlled at the transcriptional and post-transcriptional levels. Previously, we showed that inhibition of noncoding Bdnf antisense (Bdnf-AS) RNA upregulates Bdnf protein. Here, we generated a Bdnf-antisense knockout (Bdnf-AS KO) mouse...
