Herbs + Dendritic Arborization * 1
    #26361609 - 12/04/19 06:33 PM (4 years, 1 month ago)

I learned about a rather fascinating mechanism possible with the use of herbal medicine today.

"Dendritic Arborization"
(or the lengthening and complexity of branching of a Dendrite)

The herb responsible for this potential is Bacopa monniera AKA Brahmi.
(The study can be found here: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21655763/)

"The results showed an improvement in spatial learning performance and enhanced memory retention in rats treated with Bacopa monniera extract. Furthermore, a significant increase in dendritic length and the number of dendritic branching points was observed along the length of the dendrites of the basolateral amygdaloid neurons of rats treated with 40 mg/kg and 80 mg/kg of Bacopa monniera (BM) for longer periods of time (i.e., 4 and 6 weeks)."

“Disrupted dendrite arborization is seen in the brains of people with autism and schizophrenia, so processes like the one we have uncovered here may have relevance to human disorders,” says Joshua Weiner, a molecular biologist at the UI"

"Type-specific dendrite morphology is a hallmark of the neuron and has important functional implications in determining what signals a neuron receives and how these signals are integrated. During the past two decades, studies on dendritic arborization neurons in Drosophila melanogaster have started to identify mechanisms of dendrite morphogenesis that may have broad applicability to vertebrate species. Transcription factors, receptor–ligand interactions, various signalling pathways, local translational machinery, cytoskeletal elements, Golgi outposts and endosomes have been identified as contributors to the organization of dendrites of individual neurons and the placement of these dendrites in the neuronal circuitry. Further insight into these mechanisms will improve our understanding of how the nervous system functions and might help to identify the underlying causes of some neurological and neurodevelopmental disorders."

If anyone has further thoughts on this I'd love to hear it.
I'm curious what other benefits to longer reaching/more complex dendritic structures would imply.

Very interesting....

I dont know anything about the subject but i am all for natural drugs to help mental illness or as a use as a Nootropic :thumbup:
