Neurotrophic Mimetics

Meaning

Neurotrophic Mimetics are synthetic or naturally derived compounds designed to imitate the beneficial actions of endogenous neurotrophic factors, which are proteins that support the survival, development, and function of neurons. These mimetics are employed to promote neurogenesis, enhance synaptic plasticity, and protect existing neuronal networks from degeneration. Their clinical application is focused on cognitive enhancement and the management of neurodegenerative conditions, aiming to restore and protect brain health.
