Understanding the Link Between Brain Activity and Cancer Growth

Glioma synapses recruit mechanisms of adaptive plasticity Research reveals that the nervous system plays a significant role in cancer regulation, particularly in gliomas, a type of brain cancer. Neuronal activity influences tumor progression through specific signaling factors. In gliomas, the brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) promotes synaptic plasticity, similar to healthy brain functions. Malignant synapses in…
