Does the Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor Val66Met Polymorphism Modulate the Effects of Physical Activity and Exercise on Cognition?

Bernat de las Heras et al.

Summary: Val66Met, a polymorphism of the BDNF gene, affects the secretion of BDNF protein, potentially influencing brain plasticity and cognition. This study reviewed 26 studies with a total of 11,417 participants, examining the role of Val66Met in moderating the cognitive response to physical activity and exercise. The findings showed inconsistent effects of Val66Met on cognitive response and no general and consistent effect was observed.

Behavioral phenotyping of a rat model of the BDNF Val66Met polymorphism reveals selective impairment of fear memory

Emily J. Jaehne et al.

Summary: The BDNF Val66Met polymorphism, associated with reduced activity-dependent BDNF release and increased risk for anxiety disorders and PTSD, was found to impair fear memory in rats. This impairment was not dependent on animal sex or observed during adolescence, and there were no genotype differences in other types of memory.

Sex influences clinical phenotype in frontotemporal dementia

Marta Pengo et al.

Summary: This study found that sex plays a potential role in determining the phenotype of FTD, but does not influence survival rates. Although the pathophysiological contribution of sex in neurodegeneration is not well characterized yet, these findings highlight its role as a deserving biological variable in FTD.

One-Year Aerobic Exercise Reduced Carotid Arterial Stiffness and Increased Cerebral Blood Flow in Amnestic Mild Cognitive Impairment

Tsubasa Tomoto et al.

Summary: This study demonstrates that aerobic exercise training can improve central arterial stiffness, increase cerebral blood flow, and potentially influence cognitive function in patients with MCI. There are correlations between exercise, cerebral blood flow, and arterial stiffness.

Cardiovascular risk moderates the effect of aerobic exercise on executive functions in older adults with subcortical ischemic vascular cognitive impairment

Cindy K. Barha et al.

Summary: The study examined how baseline cardiovascular risk moderates the effect of aerobic training (AT) on cognitive function in adults with Subcortical Ischemic Vascular Cognitive Impairment (SIVCI). Results showed that AT improved executive functions in individuals with low cardiovascular risk, but not in those with high cardiovascular risk. This highlights the importance of early intervention when cardiovascular risk is lower to maximize the benefits of aerobic exercise for SIVCI patients.

David Ruiz-Gonzalez et al.

Summary: Exercise interventions significantly increase plasma BDNF levels in individuals with neurodegenerative disorders, with particularly notable effects in multiple sclerosis and Parkinson's disease; irrespective of exercise type, weekly exercise volume, and intervention length, BDNF levels showed significant increases.
