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

Exclusive: Samaneh Movassaghi can no longer function at the ‘elite cognitive level’ required in her field, and holds Tesla ...

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 ...

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

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

Scientists have identified prematurely aged astrocytes in the brains of Alzheimer’s patients, particularly those with the APOE4 risk gene. Their findings suggest that cellular senescence in these ...

New research suggests that super-agers generate twice as many neurons as typical older adults. But you don't have to be a ...

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 ...

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 ...

Some of the earliest roots of the human eye appear to lie in a small marine animal that lived nearly 600 million years ago. Researchers at Lund Univer.

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 ...
