Use of activity-dependent neurotrophic factor-derived polypeptides for enhancing learning and memory:pre-and post-natal administration

摘要

The present invention provides methods for improving performance (e.g. learning and/or memory) using ADNF polypeptides, by treating the subject prenatally or postnatally with an Activity Dependent Neurotrophic Factor (ADNF) polypeptide in an amount sufficient to improve postnatal learning and/or memory of the subject.
