Yes to Uridine

A compound from the giant oyster mushroom (Pleurotus giganteus) promotes brain cell growth and repair. At 100 μM, uridine nearly doubled the number of nerve cells with extensions (neurites) and increased their length. It works by activating growth pathways and can cross into the brain.
