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 ...

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 ...

Understanding how a healthy brain works can provide insight into how it fails, too. Scientists hope that studying organoids derived from humans with neurodevelopmental disorders — particularly ...

What can a honey bee tell us about human learning? According to researchers at Virginia Tech and Arizona State University, more than you might think. Their findings, published in Science Advances on ...

Digital engagement is neither inherently benign nor uniformly harmful among young people. Later in life, it can fortify specific cognitive skills through intentional practice.

Executive function and morality are not tied together, although society may connect the two. Skills like time management are ...

Scientists from Duke-NUS Medical School, working with collaborators at Imperial College London and partners in Europe and the United States, have uncovered new insights into how an additional copy of ...

On the computer screens, the mouse brain is shown from several angles. Then you click, and a small area of the brain is ...

Millions of myelin-producing cells have been mapped in the mouse brain, advancing our understanding of nervous system ...

Something in their brains enables them to maintain a superior memory. I believe hippocampal neurogenesis is the secret ...

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 ...
