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 ...

SuperAgers over 80 generate twice as many new brain cells as typical older adults, explaining their exceptional memory that ...

“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.

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

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

Lead researcher Orly Lazarov, a neuroscience professor at UIC College of Medicine, and her team started by studying the ...

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 ...

When HHMI Investigator Amita Sehgal started studying sleep 25 years ago, the topic elicited a yawn from most biologists. "In ...

Exercise does more than strengthen muscles; it also rewires the brain. In a study published in Neuron, researchers reveal ...

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

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