Medical visualization showing the effects of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) on dendritic growth in neurons. Neurotrophic factors are proteins that provide for growth and protection of dendrites. Dendrites are the branched projections of a neuron that act to conduct the electrical stimulation received from other neural cells to the cell body of the neuron. Dendrite loss is thought to be common in individuals with depression. | |
