Abstract
BDNF mRNA levels in the hippocampus were studied during the circadian cycle by in situ hybridization. These levels display a circadian pattern, which may be due to regulation by corticosterone. This may have consequences for hippocampal functioning at different time points of the circadian cycle. (C ) 2000 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
