C
GFE3
D
GFE4
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Share on Pinterest A protein called netrin may boost learning and memory by strengthening neural connections in the adult brain. The protein, called netrin, strengthens connections between brain cells.

Detailed explanation-2: -Proteins form the internal machinery within brain cells and the connective tissue between brain cells. They also control the chemical reactions that allow brain cells to communicate with each other. Some genes make proteins that are important for the early development and growth of the infant brain.

Detailed explanation-3: -Second messengers such as cAMP, phosphoi-nositides and diacylglycerol also play a role in the process of learning and memory formation (20 – 22, 28). Persistence in the activity of some protein kinases such as CaMKII (13), and Ca2þ-dependent protein kinase C (15) facilitates the learning process.

Detailed explanation-4: -Glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP), myelin basic protein (MBP), neurofilament light chain (NFL), tau and ubiquitin carboxy-terminal hydrolase L1 (UCHL1) are five neuroglial proteins that are used as CSF or blood biomarkers of tissue damage in the nervous system.
