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

A look inside the brains of extraordinarily sharp elderly people reveals clues about their unusual abilities. Deep in these ...

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

"Super-agers" seem to produce more new nerve cells in a brain region important for memory than other people their age ...

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 ...

A new study has found that SuperAgers also grow more neurons than other older adults groups, helping to keep their brains ...

Superagers’ memory capacity rivals that of younger adults. A new study suggests their brains’ robust production of new neurons may be why.

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

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

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

“SuperAgers” with superb memories in their 80s and 90s produce more new brain cells than people some 50 years younger, according to a new study.

For over a decade, neuroscientists have been trying to figure out how neurogenesis (the birth of new neurons) and neuroplasticity (the malleability of neural circuits) work together to reshape how we ...
