Lion's Mane (Hericium erinaceus) is most noted in studies for its two special compounds hericenones and erinacines that stimulate the nerve growth factor (NGF) in the central an peripheral nervous system. This has gained a lot of attention in the field of working with dementia patients and the potential in preventing early onset dementia. Studies have noted its affect on the hippocampus, primarily known for being the part of the brain where memory is stored. This area of the brain also processes emotional responses.
