Brain derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is a protein which can be thought of as âbrain fertilizer.â BDNF helps the brain to develop new connections, repair failing brain cells, and protect healthy brain cells.rain derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is a protein which can be thought of as âbrain fertilizer.â BDNF helps the brain to develop new connections, repair failing brain cells, and protect healthy brain cells.
BDNF stands for Brain Derived Neurotropihc Factor, and is part of cascade of proteins, produced in the brain, that promotes neuron growth and stops neurons from dying. It doesn't act alone, of course, but it's a highly useful little dude.hus, there's an endogenous way to increase one's BDNF levels, which would be great rather using a pharmcological way to effect levels (There's also lot of literature showing that exercise does help mental health, so it kind of does make sense).
