The disclosed invention relates to peptides incorporating 3-aminoadamantane-1-carboxylic acids. These peptides are disclosed as surprisingly possessing neurogenic and neurotrophic properties. These pharmacological activities can advantageously be utilized for restoring or maintaining neuronal function in the CNS. In particular, the compounds can be used for treatment and prophylaxis of neurodegenerative diseases, e. g., Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, Huntington's disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, as well as in post-acute traumatic brain injury, or cerebral ischemia.
