When administered peripherally to normal adult mice, the pentamer P21 significantly enhanced cognition, increased proliferation and neuronal differentiation of adult hippocampal progenitors and promoted the expression of synaptic vesicle proteins, synaptophysin and synapsin I. P21 induced enhancement of neurogenesis and maturation of newly born neurons in the granular cell layer and subgranular zone of the dentate gyrus.
