Abstract

Today, it is known that the levels of neurotrophic factors alter in neuropsychiatric disorders such as major depressive disorder (MDD), schizophrenia, Alzheimer's disease or Parkinson's disease. In recent years, some studies demonstrated that MDD may occur as a result of the changes in neuronal plasticity at structural and molecular levels. © 2014, Ebru Oztepe Yavasci et al.
