Nervonic acid, is an essential nutriment for the growth and maintenance of the brain. It has great effects on enhancing activity and preventing senility of the cerebral nerve.Signl transmission and signal processing are indispensable to the thinking , memory and issuing orders of the brain and the membrane of neurons plays an important role in the performance . The neurons in the brain transmit and process the signal by functioning of the ion channels and the receptors in the membrane . Nervonic Acid , is an important ingredient of glycolipid in nervous cell membrane , and it is important in modulating the ion channels and receptors . The scientific experiments show that Nervonic Acid is one kind of neurotrophic factors . It can promote the development of the nervous system , especially the formation of the conjunctions between the brain cells . Nervonie Acid can regulate the function of brain cell membrane . As the result , the signal transmission between the cells is strengthened and the calcium ion flow is increased so that the memory ability is enhanced . The experiments indicate that Nervonic Acid can delay the accumulation process of lipofuscia in the cultured neurons and prevent from the senility of the neurons
