The ENPP6 gene codes for an enzyme called ecto-nucleotide pyrophosphatase/ phosphodiesterase 6. The ENPP6 enzyme plays a key role in enabling your brain to grow new oligodendrocytes, the specific type of brain cells that create myelin for neurons [R, R].
ENPP6 is also highly expressed in myelin itself, suggesting that this enzyme also plays a direct role in the processes that allow oligodendrocytes to produce myelin in the first place [R].
Having proper levels of this gene is therefore important for overall brain myelination, which in turn is crucial for optimal cognitive function [R].
SNPs in the ENPP6 gene (such as rs4241784) have also been associated with more specific individual cognitive functions, such as fluid intelligence , processing speed , and learning and memory

Most likely it is only a temporary boost in production of the ENPP6 enzyme, similar to the hormone boost and antioxidant fields.
However, whether or not the boost is temporary, newly produced myelin and oligodendrocytes and some other positive benefits will remain in the longer term.
In what order I should place this field then, as first or last, what do you think, before or after what field speaking about brain related fields??
What is your opinion
Will this also help with building myelin for motor neurons (ex. allowing signals to go to your fingers so you can move each finger as normal)? Or is the focus of this mostly for mental improvements?
