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 ...

Study provides new evidence that sensory stimulation of gamma-frequency brain rhythm may promote broad-based restorative neurological health response. Studies by a growing number of labs have ...

Images from the research paper show an increase in neurogenesis (as indicated by two markers: Ki67 and EdU) in mice exposed to 40Hz stimulation compared to those exposed only to ambient light and ...

The brain seeks novelty. Passive tasks can lead to skill decline. Challenging the brain with new learning, like a new language, may build cognitive reserve and memory confidence.

One of the most remarkable discoveries of modern neuroscience is that the adult brain is capable of producing new neurons in various mammalian species, including humans. For more than 30 years, ...

Tooth loss doesn't just make eating harder, it may also make thinking more challenging. A new study from Hiroshima University shows that aging mice missing their molars experience measurable cognitive ...

Recent research has identified a specific biological mechanism that may explain why females experience more severe impairments in brain cell regeneration associated with Alzheimer’s disease. The ...
