Arc: The Hidden Link Between Memory and Depression
Arc (Activity-Regulated Cytoskeleton-Associated Protein) is a key player in memory formation and emotional regulation. Low Arc levels are linked to depression and cognitive decline, while interventions like exercise, ketamine, and enriched environments can boost Arc expression, improving both memory and mood. Research suggests that targeting Arc could be a novel approach to treating depression and enhancing cognitive function.
