Hippocampal BDNF Mediates Recovery From Chronic Stress-Induced Spatial Reference Memory Deficits

abstract: Chronic restraint stress impairs hippocampal-mediated spatial learning and memory, which improves following a post-stress recovery period. Here, we investigated whether brain derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), a protein important for hippocampal function, would alter the recovery from chr...
