Neurotrophism

If VP-induced neurotrophism is indeed related to enhanced memory function and if neuronal outgrowth is a marker for information storage, then VP should enhance the morphological complexity of neurons derived from a brain region long held to be the site of long-term memory, the cerebral cortex.

Neurotrophism unlike other nervous functions deals with non-impulsive conductive function of neurons.
