The mechanisms are poorly understood but may involve modulation of neurotransmitter systems (dopaminergic, serotonergic), reduction of neuroinflammation, and protection against excitotoxicity
Akt activates mTORC1, which phosphorylates the translational regulators S6K1 and 4E-BP1 to increase ribosomal biogenesis and cap-dependent translation the molecular basis of increased protein synthesis
