Abstract
⺠Variations in BDNF Val66Met polymorphism modulate goal-directed behavior. ⺠The Val/Val genotype confers a disadvantage in elderly. ⺠This disadvantage can partly be compensated by attentional shifting mechanisms. ⺠BDNF modulates distinct subprocesses within a distraction and re-focusing cycle.
