    Glossary Neurotrophins

    proteins that support neuron growth, survival, and function

    Neurotrophins are a family of proteins that play a crucial role in the growth, survival, and maintenance of neurons, which are the cells responsible for transmitting information in the nervous system. They help support the health of nerve cells and are involved in processes like learning and memory. For professionals, key members of this family include nerve growth factor (NGF) and brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF).
