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

Not only do our brains appear to generate new neurons into adulthood, but those of superagers contain far more brain cells in development than those of healthy peers, new research has found. According ...

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

Some older adults with exceptional memory grow far more new neurons in the hippocampus, while Alzheimer’s brains show almost ...

For decades, scientists have mapped attention, memory, language, and reasoning to separate brain networks — yet one big mystery remained: why does the mind feel like a single, unified system?

Older adults with exceptional memories continue to grow new brain cells. A recent study published in the journal Nature shows ...

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 ...

A new study shows that prolonging cellular energy in brain cells helps transform fleeting experiences into lasting memories.

An international study has revealed a surprising connection between quantum physics and the theoretical models underlying ...

There’s a lot to love about brains. They are arguably the most complex organ in the entire human body. 86 billion neurons send electrical and chemical signals back and forth within your brain to ...

People who lose their visual imagination after a stroke share damage to a single neural circuit. A new analysis maps these ...
