Transcriptional evidence of reduced BDNF trophic capacity in the post-mortem human midbrain of schizophrenia cases with high inflammation

Abstract Elevated inflammation in the midbrain of ~45% of people with schizophrenia may relate to altered trophic support for neurons. Dopamine neurons require trophic support from Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF), that signals via the full-length Tropomyosin kinase B receptor (TrkBTK+). The...
