BDNF Neurogenesis

Meaning

BDNF Neurogenesis refers to the biological process of generating new neurons in the brain, specifically promoted or modulated by Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF). BDNF is a key protein in the central nervous system that supports the survival of existing neurons and encourages the growth and differentiation of new neurons and synapses. This phenomenon is vital for cognitive functions, memory consolidation, and emotional well-being. Maintaining robust BDNF-mediated neurogenesis is a core tenet of neurological and hormonal longevity.
