Neurotrophic Factor Optimization

Meaning

Neurotrophic Factor Optimization is the clinical strategy focused on maximizing the endogenous production and signaling efficacy of neurotrophic factors, a family of proteins that support the survival, differentiation, and maintenance of neurons. The primary target is often Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF), which plays a pivotal role in synaptic plasticity, neurogenesis, and resistance to neurological stress. This optimization is a core pillar of proactive brain health, aiming to enhance cognitive resilience and slow the progression of neurodegenerative processes. It represents a functional approach to maintaining a youthful brain structure.
