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

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

Researchers used single-nucleus RNA sequencing and chromatin accessibility profiling to map human hippocampal neurogenesis ...

The cerebral cortex, the brain’s outermost region responsible for higher cognitive functions, depends on a highly ordered, ...

Researchers studying "super agers" — people over 80 whose brains still produce new neurons — found that the single habit they all shared wasn't about diet or exercise. It was something far more human, ...

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 ...

Tau proteins play an important role in our normal brain function, mainly by helping to stabilize neurons in the brain. But in Alzheimer’s disease, tau proteins can misfold and tangle inside neurons.

An EEG (electroencephalogram) is a painless test that uses small sensors placed on the scalp to measure the brain's ...

Understanding the connection between behavior and brain cell activity is a major goal of neuroscience. To make progress, ...

Unlearning fear responses is a fundamental learning process in the brain. It allows us to flexibly react to formerly ...

Using the age-old medium of Doom, boffins just gave us a look into our cyborg future by making the game run on wetware ...

When you finish a run, your muscles may feel like they did all the work. But researchers at The Jackson Laboratory (JAX) and ...
