However, given that impaired BDNF trafficking has been implicated in multiple neurodegenerative, neuropsychiatric, and neurodevelopmental disorders, understanding the trafficking of BDNF in full not only uncovers fundamental aspects of BDNF function but also reveals potential therapeutic targets for neurological disorders that are associated with impaired BDNF trafficking. The gene discussed is BDNF; the disease is neurodevelopmental disorder.
