Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF): A Catalyst for Productivity and Longevity with Implications in Major Chronic Diseases
Introduction: Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF) is a neurotrophin essential for brain health, primarily known for regulating neuroplasticity, memory formation, and neuronal survival. It influences synaptic transmission and long-term potentiation—key processes behind learning and cognitive efficiency. Higher BDNF levels have been linked to enhanced mental performance, concentration, and creativity, all of which are critical to sustained…
