Abstract / Summary

Selank attenuated ethanol-induced memory impairment and normalised hippocampal and prefrontal BDNF levels, supporting a neuroprotective mechanism linked to BDNF modulation.

Methods

Investigated as a preclinical (rat ethanol model) in the field of neuroscience research. The study design follows the methodology described in the published manuscript indexed under the identifiers listed above. Full methodological detail is available in the source publication via the PubMed or DOI link.

Results

Selank attenuated ethanol-induced memory impairment and normalised hippocampal and prefrontal BDNF levels, supporting a neuroprotective mechanism linked to BDNF modulation.

Limitations

Rodent behavioural model; clinical relevance unconfirmed.
