Effects of Myoga on Memory and Synaptic Plasticity by Regulating Nerve Growth Factor-Mediated Signaling

Abstract: The flower bud of Zingiber mioga Roscoe, known as 'myoga' or Japanese ginger, has a pungent aroma and is commonly consumed as a spice, with pickles, or as a health supplement in Eastern Asia. Here, we evaluated the activity of myoga in the brain, focusing especially on nerve growth factor (NGF), which is believed to mediate synaptic plasticity, supporting learning and memory. In a rat primary hippocampal astrocyte culture system, treatment with myoga extract for 24 h significantly stimulated the production of … Show more

“…31,32 NGF is believed to have a great effect on synaptic plasticity, learning, and memory. 33 BDNF is a member of the neurotrophin family, which functions in both embryonic development of the nervous system. 34 Additionally, increased BDNF is able to affect the learning and memory process in hippocampus posthippocampal-dependent cognitive tasks.…”

“…Z. mioga is deeply rooted in Japanese culture and tradition (Gracie et al, 2004). Kim et al (2016) evaluated Z. mioga activity in brain cell cultures prepared from hippocampus of postnatal Sprague-Dawley rats at day 1, focusing especially on the nerve growth factor (NGF), which is believed to mediate synaptic plasticity, supporting learning and memory. In a rat primary hippocampal astrocyte culture system, treatment with Z. mioga extract for 24 h stimulated the production of NGF.…”
