Cognitive Peptides

Meaning

Cognitive peptides are a class of short-chain amino acid compounds that exhibit pleiotropic effects within the central nervous system, specifically influencing processes related to cognition, memory, and neuroprotection. These endogenous or exogenous signaling molecules interact with neural receptors and pathways to modulate synaptic plasticity, neurotransmitter release, and neuronal survival. Clinical interest in these peptides centers on their potential to mitigate age-related neurocognitive decline and enhance executive function.
