Amygdala-Dependent Fear Conditioning in Humans is Modulated by the BDNFval66met Polymorphism.

The brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is critically involved in neuroplasticity, as well as the acquisition, consolidation, and retention of hippocampal- and amygdala-dependent learning. A common functional A --> G single nucleotide polymorphism (BDNFval66met) in the prodomain of the human BD...
