Short Description of your Research or Creative Project (700 characters or less)

This research aims to investigate the neuroprotective potential of Hericium erinaceus (Lion’s Mane mushroom), focusing on its effects on neurogenesis, synaptic plasticity, and memory retention in Alzheimer’s patients. Hericium erinaceus is rich in bioactive compounds such as erinacines and hericenones, which have been shown to stimulate nerve growth factor (NGF) synthesis, reduce oxidative stress, and protect neurons from apoptosis and inflammation. These properties of Hericium erinaceus suggest a potential role in enhancing the treatment and management of Alzheimer’s disease.
