The relationship between Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF) genotype, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), hippocampal processing, and navigation skills (represented by the anchor). BDNF genotype influences activity-dependent release of the BDNF protein used in hippocampal processing of traumatic and spatial information, potentially placing some genotypes at a disadvantage for trauma resilience and navigation competence.
