There are many protein compounds that have the potential to improve brain functionality, especially those that support neuronal growth, synaptic plasticity, energy production and neuronal protection. New biotechnological approaches such as the development of artificial proteins, the targeted activation of neuronal networks through optogenetics and genetic modifications open up exciting opportunities to enhance cognitive function and protect the brain from neurodegenerative diseases.

A targeted increase in proteins such as BDNF, NGF and antioxidant enzymes could significantly improve the brain's learning ability, memory and protection. Artificial proteins and genetically modified proteins also offer the opportunity to optimise the brain in a way that was previously only possible in theory.
