Scientific Background | Forskolin is a diterpene that activates adenylate cyclase, leading to increased intracellular cAMP levels. In neurodegenerative disease research, forskolin is widely used to modulate synaptic plasticity, memory formation, and neuroprotection. Its role in enhancing cAMP signaling makes it a key compound in studies of learning, long-term potentiation, and neuropsychiatric disorders. |
