Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesPeripheral Blood Leukocyte Production of BDNF following Mitogen Stimulation in Early Onset and Regressive AutismAmanda Enstrom, Charity Onore, Angela Tarver et al.Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is critical for neuronal differentiation and synaptic development. BDNF is also implicated in the development of psychological disorders including depression, bipolar disorder and schizophrenia.
