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.
Introduction. 1  Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), the most abundant neurotrophin in the brain, is primarily produced by neurons, and BDNF levels are rapidly and strongly regulated by neuronal activity (Edelmann et al., 2014xPre- and postsynaptic twists in BDNF secretion and action in synaptic plasticity.
