Adults whose brains still have strong neuron production seem to have better memory and cognitive function than do those in ...

New research suggests that super-agers generate twice as many neurons as typical older adults. But you don't have to be a ...

'But Alzheimer's Disease Disrupts Renewal Process' ...

An international study has revealed a surprising connection between quantum physics and the theoretical models underlying ...

A new study shows that prolonging cellular energy in brain cells helps transform fleeting experiences into lasting memories.

Older adults with exceptional memories continue to grow new brain cells. A recent study published in the journal Nature shows that this biological process nearly stops in people with Alzheimer's ...

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 ...

“SuperAgers have more immature neurons and neuroblasts in the hippocampus, which is an indication of stronger neurogenesis ...

While neurogenesis—the growth of new brain cells—typically slows with age, superagers produce new neurons in the hippocampus at twice the rate of healthy older adults. In contrast, individuals with ...

There’s a lot to love about brains. They are arguably the most complex organ in the entire human body. 86 billion neurons send electrical and chemical signals back and forth within your brain to ...

A new study reveals a connection between early life trauma and adult brain aging. Adults reporting severe childhood stress ...

The largest fMRI study to date finds that heavy cannabis use in young adults reduces brain activity and impairs working memory performance.
