Neural network restructuring agent and method for reconstructing neural network by Kampo prescription

摘要

Neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease, senile dementia, cerebrovascular dementia, Parkinson's disease, etc., all have different etiologies, but all indicate symptoms that impair memory and cognition due to the breakdown of the neural network. For these diseases for which there is no effective treatment, there is a need for a treatment that can bring the nerve function closer to normal even if the neural network has already been impaired. To do. In a cultured neuron, a state in which atrophy of axons and dendrites, a decrease in the number of pre-synapses and the number of post-synapses is produced. By exploring Kampo prescriptions that can restore neuronal neurites and synapses to normal by treating nerve cells in this state, from the extract of ginseng and / or ginseng, jaundice, persimmon, cocoon We found that the Kampo prescription is useful as a neural network reconstruction agent.
