Neuroscience

A protein that supports the growth and survival of neurons, widely used as a lab marker for neuroplasticity in animal studies.

Example: It's one of the standard measures researchers use to show that a compound like Tabernanthalog is doing something biologically real — see our Neuroplasticity and Ibogaine entries above, and our full ibogaine coverage.
