Original post in this thread

Hello guys! I read neuroscience for fun, and wanted to experiment with elevated levels of brain growth factors (did not try or know how to). Is there a way to elevate lets say my BDNF (brain-derived neurotrophic factor) levels? Please only proved chemicals, not answers like "if u exercise and add oxygen also pharmacologically it should do the trick".

Note there may be some shadiness with the matrine paper:

Interesting. Poor mice! There are other papers showing increased BDNF with matrine, though.
