Neurotrophic

The genes in nerve cells signal the production of proteins called neurotrophic factors or growth factors. ❋ Unknown (2007)

Lab tests on animals have also shown that during exercise their nerve cells release proteins known as neurotrophic factors. ❋ Unknown (2010)

Neural growth factors, also called neurotrophic factors, hold great promise for treating neurological problems. ❋ Unknown (2009)

However, proteins called neurotrophic factors can activate nerve cells 'natural growth abilities, perhaps preventing cell death. ❋ Unknown (2009)

In December 2004 a device called a neurotrophic electrode was surgically inserted into the area of Erik’s brain that controlled his jaw, lips, and tongue in the act of speech. ❋ Michael Chorost (2011)

A specific gene codes for the production of a protein, brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) which plays a key role in creating new neurons. ❋ M.D. David Perlmutter (2010)

Lilly's treatment approach involves a modified form of a protein called glial cell derived neurotrophic factor, or GDNF, which is designed to protect these neurons. ❋ Jon Kamp (2011)

In a series of experiments on mice, Canadian scientists found that changing the bacterial composition of the colon through the administration of antibiotics resulted in increased levels of brain-derived neurotrophic factor BDNF, a protein associated with memory, learning and mood. ❋ Ann Lukits (2011)

Aerobic exercise increases the supply of a protein called BDNF (brain-derived neurotrophic factor), which protects brain neurons and promotes the growth of new nerve cells and synapses that are related to learning and memory. ❋ Unknown (2010)

During exercise, the brain secretes more of a protein called BDNF -- brain derived neurotrophic factor. ❋ Deepak Chopra (2010)

Or maybe the culprit is a lack of brain-derived neurotrophic factor or vascular endothelial growth factor leading to a decrease in hippocampal neurogenesis, or too many cytokines or glucocorticoids floating around the brain or just glitches in the intracellular interactions between brain macrophages. ❋ Gary Greenberg (2010)
