Psychoplastogens are a class of small molecules that can rapidly induce structural and functional neural plasticity, vital for learning and memory, as well as recovery from trauma.
In contrast to traditional antidepressants, psychoplastogens act quickly—sometimes within hours—to stimulate neural growth and synaptic connectivity, presenting a promising solution for mood disorders.
By activating BDNF and mTOR pathways, psychoplastogens promote dendritic growth and increase synaptic density in the prefrontal cortex, positively influencing mood regulation and cognitive function.
Psychoplastogens can reverse decreased synaptic connectivity associated with psychiatric disorders like major depressive disorder and PTSD, allowing for rapid improvements in cognitive and emotional functioning.
