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 ...

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

“SuperAgers” with superb memories in their 80s and 90s produce more new brain cells than people some 50 years younger, according to a new study.

Many people’s brains deteriorate as they age, becoming riddled with malfunctioning proteins that result in cell death and the ...

After new research into so called "super agers," neurogenesis, and Alzheimer's was published in a major journal, ABC4 spoke to one of the researchers to understand what it might mean for you.

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

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 ...

Brains of older adults with super-healthy cognition grow more new neurons than those of their peers, according to a study ...

The secret of how “super agers” have the mental agility of people decades younger has been discovered, according to The ...

For over a decade, neuroscientists have been trying to figure out how neurogenesis (the birth of new neurons) and neuroplasticity (the malleability of neural circuits) work together to reshape how we ...
