It's BDNF. Lion's mane is just a supplement which promotes that, but there's other more effective ones. And of course the artificial ones are stronger (Noopept, Semax, ketamine).
>Ketamine, an N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor antagonist and putative antidepressant, may increase synaptic plasticity in prefrontal cortex through higher expression of BDNF. Furthermore, ketamine was shown to change resting-state functional connectivity (RSFC) of dorsomedial prefrontal cortex (dmPFC).
That is really fascinating! I wonder whether the lesions observed in chronic, heavy ketamine abuse are related to trophic effects.
A glance at search results sugget BNDF seems tighlty regulated, and linked to lesions in other rare conditions
(This makes me want to buy neuroscience books! Such an interesting field)
