Researchers used single-nucleus RNA sequencing and chromatin accessibility profiling to map human hippocampal neurogenesis ...

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

“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.

Many people’s brains deteriorate as they age, becoming riddled with malfunctioning proteins that result in cell death and the ...

SuperAgers over 80 generate twice as many new brain cells as typical older adults, explaining their exceptional memory that rivals people decades younger.

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 ...

Brains of older adults with super-healthy cognition grow more new neurons than those of their peers, according to a study ...

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

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 ...

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 ...

Destroying senescent cells in the aging stem cell niche enhances hippocampal neurogenesis and cognitive function in mice, researchers report January 20 in the journal Stem Cell Reports. "Our results ...
