New research in male rats suggests that the timing and duration of testosterone exposure may influence whether newly born ...

A 2026 mini review concludes that microglial metabolic states may connect brain pathology with adult neurogenic niche ...

Adult neurogenesis is the formation of functional, mature neurons from neural stem cells in specific brain regions in adults. In these regions, new neurons are generated throughout life and integrated ...

Researchers at the University of Wisconsin–Madison have built a cross-species atlas of gene regulatory networks governing ...

The aging brain may not be as doomed as we thought—at least for people with extraordinary memory.

The ability to shift from one type of cognitive problem-solving strategy to another when the circumstances change, called cognitive adaptability or flexibility, is an essential function for humans.

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, ...

Evolution is usually equated with advancement, but the most useful biological innovations aren't always found in the "highest" organisms. Zebrafish, for example, can continually generate new neurons ...

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 ...

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 ...

This may come as a surprise, but do you have any memories of when you were one or two years old?The view on the day you first walked, the taste of your first baby food, the scent of your mother when ...
