| Research Abstract |
This research proposes an establishment of encompassing screening system which brings to discover substances with mental function to support healthy brain function and mental clarity, and to prevent and improve stress-induced mental diseases in modern society. We found that the lower molecular weight peptide from collagen decreased anxiety like behavior and increased neurogenesis in mice. We also found that Hericium erinaceus decreased anxiety in human.
