BDNF belongs to the neurotrophin family of growth factors and affects the survival and function of neurons in the central nervous system, particularly in brain regions susceptible to degeneration in AD.
Increasing BDNF availability in the brain (stimulated, for example, by exercise or learning) is rapidly gaining strength as an important approach to improving cognitive function throughout life and offsetting depression and dementia.

 Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF)
Elena Cattaneo, from the University of Milan, in Italy, and colleagues found that the huntingtin protein controls the production of another protein called brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), which is essential for maintaining the type of brain cells that die off in patients with Huntington's.
According to the researchers, patients' mutated huntingtin protein cannot produce proper amounts of BDNF, which leads to brain deterioration.
Therapeutic drugs aimed at mimicking or increasing the normal activity of huntingtin protein may be effective in treating the disease, they conclude.
