"This is biological proof that their brains are more plastic, and a real discovery that shows that neurogenesis of young neurons in the hippocampus may be a contributing factor," said Tamar Gefen.

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

A pair of new studies have provided fresh evidence in the long-running scientific debate—and the result could be ...

Not only do our brains appear to generate new neurons into adulthood, but those of superagers contain far more brain cells in ...

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

Cleveland scientists say they may have found a way to keep the brain sharp even after punishing rounds of whole-brain ...

Researchers used AI and deep learning to find a link between brain structure and navigation skills but found no measurable ...

Cocaine addiction isn’t simply a failure of willpower — it’s the result of lasting biological changes in the brain.

It is now understood that the hippocampus is closely linked to learning and memory (Doidge, 2015; Suzuki, 2015). However, this was not always the case. One prominent experiment investigating memory, ...

Scientists found that cocaine changes how the hippocampus region of the brain functions. The post This is your brain on cocaine appeared first on Talker.

Investigators sought to determine whether stereotactic radiation improves symptom severity and interference with daily functioning compared with whole-brain radiation with hippocampal avoidance.
