    Synaptogenesis

    The formation of new synaptic connections between neurons.

    Definition

    Synaptogenesis is referenced in the context of Dihexa, a synthetic hexapeptide analog of angiotensin IV with potent nootropic properties. Dihexa promotes synaptogenesis — the formation of new synapses between neurons — at picomolar concentrations in preclinical studies. This mechanism underlies its potential applications in neurodegenerative conditions and cognitive enhancement.
