Abstract
⺠N-docsahexanoylethanolamide (DEA) is a potent synaptogenic factor, and thus termed synapamide. ⺠Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) is converted to DEA by fetal mouse hippocampal neurons. ⺠DEA is present in the mouse hippocampus. ⺠DEA stimulates neurite growth, synaptogenesis and glutamatergic synaptic activities. ⺠DEA increases synapsin and glutamate receptor subunit expression in the hippocampal neurons.
