Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is a growth factor that promotes the survival and growth of developing neurons. It also enhances circuit formation to synaptic transmission for mature neurons in the brain. However, reduced BDNF expression and single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) are reported to be associated with functional deficit and disease development in the brain, suggesting that BDNF is a crucial molecule for brain health.

- Genistein (GEN) is a phytoestrogen that interacts with estrogen receptors in the brain, potentially influencing functions like learning and memory.
- A study with male mice was conducted to analyze the effects of GEN on learning and memory, with one group receiving GEN and the other a control treatment.
- The results indicated that GEN-treated mice showed improved learning and memory, as evidenced by their behavior in the novel object recognition test and increased expression of the ERK1/2 protein in their brains.
