Cortexin: Comprehensive Research Guide
Overview
Cortexin is a complex peptide preparation derived from the cerebral cortex of animals. It contains multiple neuropeptides that work synergistically to promote neuroplasticity, neurogenesis, and cognitive function. Widely used in Russia and Eastern Europe for neurological conditions.
Mechanism of Action
- Neuroplasticity: Promotes synaptic plasticity
- Neurogenesis: Supports formation of new neurons
- Neuroprotection: Protects neurons from damage
- Cognitive Function: Enhances memory and learning
Research Applications
- Cognitive disorders
- Stroke recovery
- Traumatic brain injury
- Neurodegenerative conditions
- Learning and memory enhancement
Dosage
- Standard: 10 mg daily
- Frequency: Daily for 10-20 days
- Method: Intramuscular injection
- Cycles: 10-20 day cycles with breaks
Side Effects
- Minimal: Generally very well-tolerated
- Allergic: Rare allergic reactions possible
- Injection Site: Mild irritation possible
Comparison
- vs. Cerebrolysin: Similar mechanism, cortexin more focused on cortex
- vs. Semax: Different mechanism, cortexin is mixture vs. single peptide
