BDNF (Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor)

Growth factor supporting neuron survival and plasticity.

What is BDNF (Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor)?

BDNF is a neurotrophin that promotes neuron survival, synaptic plasticity, and long-term potentiation. Several research peptides (Semax, Cerebrolysin, Dihexa) upregulate BDNF, the basis for their cognitive and neuroprotective effects.
