Neurotrophic Actions

Meaning

Neurotrophic actions refer to the essential physiological processes that promote the survival, development, and functional maintenance of neurons within the central and peripheral nervous systems. These critical actions are mediated by neurotrophic factors, which are a class of signaling molecules, including certain hormones, that are absolutely essential for neuroplasticity and overall brain health. Supporting these actions is fundamental to maintaining cognitive vitality, emotional resilience, and preventing age-related neurological changes. They are the growth factors of the brain.
