Schematic representation of platelets mirroring neurons. Neurons and platelets share common proteins (reelin, amyloid peptides, APP, BDNF, serotonin, and others). Alterations in metabolism of these proteins are related to neurological disorders and may be reflected in abnormalities in circulating platelets. APP, amyloid precursor protein; BDNF, brain‐derived neurotrophic factor
