Olá. Meu contexto é o de uma descoberta inesperada durante um estudo sobre o envelhecimento.
"At the time, if you'd asked what variable might underlie overall brain health, most scientists would have said neurotrophic factors because they were "kind of the in thing," [...] and everyone knew that BDNF helped neurons in culture survive. It was a bit of a leap, but if Cotman could tie exercise to BDNF, he'd at least have a plausible explanation for why it turned up in the aging study".
Obrigada desde já. :)
