Research found the choroid plexus and cerebrospinal fluid play a key role in maintaining a pool of newly born neurons to repair the adult brain after injury. University of Cincinnati researchers have ...

Mitochondrial fusion grants new neurons a competitive advantage Adult neurogenesis takes place in the hippocampus, a brain region controlling aspects of cognition and emotional behavior. Consistently, ...

STOCKHOLM — A longstanding question in neuroscience has been whether the adult human brain continues to generate new neurons. Decades of conflicting studies left the issue unresolved, but a new study ...

Neural stem cells (NSCs) are undifferentiated cells capable of extensive self‐renewal and the production of specialised cell types, including neurons, astrocytes and oligodendrocytes. In the adult ...

Neural precursor cells (green) are have been difficult to identify in human brians. For at least six decades, neuroscientists have been arguing over a big, foundational question: Do adult brains make ...

The paper showed that adult mice that were deficient for a neurogenesis-linked gene , Tlx, had diminished learning and memory capabilities compared to their wild-type counterparts.

The debate over adult neurogenesis may have just been won. New research out of the Karolinska Institutet in Sweden provides evidence of adult neurogenesis in the hippocampus, a finding that could ...

“We knew that experience shapes the maturation of these new neurons, but what this paper does is it lays out the entire circuit through which that happens,” said Heather Cameron, a neuroscientist at ...

New research zeroes in on the root cause of adverse health effects from disruption of the body's circadian rhythms, which typically occurs from jet lag and rotating work shifts. New research at the ...
