The term neurogenesis is made up of the words “neuro” meaning “relating to nerves” and “genesis” meaning the formation of something. The term therefore refers to the growth and ...

Swimming reduces the risk of dementia for those over the age of 60, according to a number of scientific experts. As we age, ...

“If neurogenesis continues in adult humans, it’s extremely rare,” says Alvarez-Buylla. “It’s not as robust as what people have said, where you could go running and pump up the number of ...

Images from the research paper show an increase in neurogenesis (as indicated by two markers: Ki67 and EdU) in mice exposed to 40Hz stimulation compared to those exposed only to ambient light and ...

The birth of neurons from stem cells is called neurogenesis and in babies, most of the job is done before they leave their mommy’s belly. After birth, this process is restricted to two areas: ...

Neurogenesis, they wrote, “declines sharply during the first year of life”: At birth, there is an average of 1,600 new neurons in an area of brain 1 millimeter across, ...

Neurogenesis and Neuroplasticity Work Together to Rewire Neural Circuitry. One of the key aspects of neural plasticity is called Neural Darwinism, ...

Exposure to an enriched environment increases neurogenesis in the dentate gyrus of adult rodents. Environmental enrichment, however, typically consists of many components, such as expanded ...

The first direct evidence for adult neurogenesis in humans came in 1998, but the method used—injecting a chemical label that permanently integrates into the DNA of dividing brain cells—is no longer ...
