New Brain Cells Aid Learning Through Listening in Adults

New research indicates that adults can generate new neurons, which are linked to improved verbal learning and cognitive function. This discovery, based on studies of epilepsy patients, suggests that enhancing neurogenesis could help mitigate cognitive decline associated with aging and neurological disorders. The findings highlight the importance of studying neurogenesis in humans, as it may differ from animal models like mice. Current clinical trials are exploring the potential of aerobic exercise to boost neuron production and cognition in epilepsy patients.
