A pair of new studies have provided fresh evidence in the long-running scientific debate—and the result could be ...

"This is biological proof that their brains are more plastic, and a real discovery that shows that neurogenesis of young ...

Some older adults with exceptional memory grow far more new neurons in the hippocampus, while Alzheimer’s brains show almost ...

Not only do our brains appear to generate new neurons into adulthood, but those of superagers contain far more brain cells in ...

While neurogenesis—the growth of new brain cells—typically slows with age, superagers produce new neurons in the hippocampus ...

The researchers assessed three kinds of hippocampus cells – stem cells with potential to evolve into neurons; cells on the ...

Past studies show that SuperAgers may experience slower brain atrophy, lower brain volume loss, and reduced neuroinflammation ...

Researchers used single-nucleus RNA sequencing and chromatin accessibility profiling to map human hippocampal neurogenesis across adulthood, aging, and Alzheimer’s disease. They found that chromatin ...

Older adults with exceptional memories continue to grow new brain cells. A recent study published in the journal Nature shows ...

STOCKHOLM — A longstanding question in neuroscience has been whether the adult human brain continues to generate new neurons. Decades of conflicting studies left the issue unresolved, but a new study ...

The evidence and concept of adult neurogenesis have been documented in the scientific literature since the 1960s, with research conducted by Altman (1962) and Altman and Das (1965). These studies have ...
