The Correlation between Brain Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF) Level and Motor Development of Children Aged Under 2 Years in Timor Tengah Selatan Nusa Tenggara Timur
Keywords:
BDNF, motor development.Abstract
BDNF is neurotrophin which widely distributed in the CNS that regulate axonal and dendritic growth, synaptic structure and plasticity, neurotransmitter release and long-term potentiation (LTP) related to the learning process. Motor development depends on the formation of the specific connections between corticospinal axonal and motor circuits in the contralateral of spinal cord. The aim of this study was to analyze the correlation between the level of BDNF and motor development of children aged under 2 years. This was a cross-sectional study in regency of Timor Tengah Selatan province of Nusa Tenggara Timur. Participants were 75 children aged 6
