One of the brain’s biggest benefits from exercise – the birth of new neurons – may not even require any movement. Instead, ...

Established memories may interfere with the encoding of new memories, particularly when existing and new memories overlap in content. By manipulating levels of hippocampal neurogenesis, here we show ...

Our understanding of how the brain functions and undergoes adaptation and plasticity has changed dramatically over the past several years. A great deal of work has demonstrated that altered levels of ...

Researchers at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign report that extracellular vesicles released into the bloodstream ...

Fifteen years ago, the discovery of adult neurogenesis (the production of new neurons) in the highly static, non-renewable mammalian brain was a breakthrough in neuroscience. Now new neuronal ...

Does neurogenesis keep the brain sharp? This unsettled debate is getting new fuel this week. In the May 23 Cell Stem Cell online, researchers led by Orly Lazarov at the University of Illinois, Chicago ...

Researchers are now able to study stem cells from the brains of adult mice and their neurogenesis in long-term cell cultures. Scientists have developed a new method which allows them to generate ...

Scientists from the RIKEN Center for Life Science Technology (CLST) in Japan have used a new non-invasive PET scanning technique to obtain images of neuron proliferation in the subventricular zone and ...

In the study, which was recently studied in Nature, researchers found that in human hippocampus neurogenesis gradually declines all through childhood and becomes unnoticeable in adults. The ...

TURIN (Italy)—Fifteen years ago, the discovery of adult neurogenesis (the production of new neurons) in the highly static, non-renewable mammalian brain was a breakthrough in neuroscience. Most ...
