Compounds that Enhance Neuroplasticity

MECHANISM OVERVIEW

Neuroplasticity — the brain's ability to form new synaptic connections and reorganise neural circuits — depends on BDNF, NGF, and activity-dependent gene expression, and declines progressively with age.

Neuroplasticity underlies learning, memory formation, emotional regulation, and recovery from brain injury. It is driven by neurotrophic factors (BDNF, NGF), synaptic signalling proteins (AMPA, NMDA), and epigenetic modifications. Age-related decline in neuroplasticity contributes to cognitive aging, depression, and neurodegeneration. The following compounds show evidence for supporting neuroplastic mechanisms from the BiohacksAI corpus.
