Neurocognitive Peptides

Meaning

Neurocognitive peptides are short chains of amino acids that function as signaling molecules within the central nervous system, exerting modulatory effects on neuronal activity, synaptic plasticity, and overall cognitive function. These peptides are distinct from classical neurotransmitters and often regulate complex processes such as memory consolidation, executive function, and mood stability. Clinical application involves the targeted use of these bio-regulators to enhance mental performance and address neurocognitive decline.
