Forget the "meathead" stereotypes; heavy lower-body training is actually a high-performance fuel injection for your cognitive health and emotional resilience.

The study reveals that hippocampal microglia actively regulate adult neurogenesis. When TGF-beta signaling is absent, ...

Research into “neurogenesis”—the ability of certain brain areas to grow new brain cells—has recently taken an exciting turn. Not only has research discovered that we can foster new brain cell growth ...

A new study, recently published in the journal Nature Communications, is leading to a new understanding of how immune cells ...

The adult brain is a plastic place. Neuronal responses to a changing environment can occur at the level of molecules, spines, dendrites, axons and, with processes of adult neurogenesis, at the level ...

Figure 1: Adult-generated neurons are involved in trace but not in delay conditioning. Figure 3: Reduction of adult-generated granule cells in the hippocampus does not affect neurophysiological ...

Robust new research, published in the journal Translational Psychiatry, is reporting on several years of animal studies showing how a psychedelic drug called dimethyltryptamine (DMT) can promote brain ...

A staggering 280 million people suffer with depression worldwide, reports the World Health Organization, and many experience debilitating symptoms that are not effectively treated by currently ...

When I was in college in the 1970s, we were taught that no new neurons ever formed in the mammalian brain. We were born, it was argued, with all the neurons we would ever get. Yet, a decade earlier, ...

Every year, millions of infants and children undergo surgery under general anesthesia in the world. Sevoflurane is a commonly used pediatric anesthetic. Its exposure during brain development has been ...

Many people think that their adult brain is not capable of generating new cells. That’s it. Done. From now on, it will only get worse. And if you drink too much alcohol, or even watch too much Netflix ...

A tweaked laboratory protocol has revealed signs of thousands of newborn nerve cells in the brains of adults, including an octogenarian. Researchers viewed slices of postmortem brains of 13 formerly ...
