Central administration of afzelin extracted from Ribes fasciculatum improves cognitive and memory function in a mouse model of dementia
Abstract Neurodegenerative disorders are characterized by the decline of cognitive function and the progressive loss of memory. The dysfunctions of the cognitive and memory system are closely related to the decreases in brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and cAMP response element-binding prote...
