    Glossary Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor

    protein supporting neuron growth and survival in the brain

    Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF) is a protein that plays a crucial role in the growth, maintenance, and survival of neurons in the brain. It is essential for cognitive functions such as learning and memory, and it also supports the health of existing neurons while encouraging the growth of new ones.
