 There is accumulating evidence demonstrating that BDNF(brain-derived neurotrophic factor)is an important regulator for activity-dependent neuronal plasticity. Despite the substantial evidence with animals, it has been difficult to ask whether BDNF is involved in human cognitive functions. To address this question, we have focused on a SNP in human BDNF gene, which converts valine(val)to a methionin(met)in BDNF pro-domain. We found that human subjects with met allele exhibit lower neuronal activity, abnormal hippocampal activation and impairment in episodic memory. Cell biological study with rodent hippocampal neurons in culture showed that met-BDNF was not appropriately packaged into regulatory secretion vesicles and that the activity-dependent secretion of met-BDNF was significantly lower than that of val-BDNF. The combination of functional analyses of the consequences of a human SNP with the cell biological studies appears to be a powerful strategy to elucidate the molecular mechanisms of human brain functions and SNP functions.
