Scientists have discovered neural progenitor cells in the adult human hippocampus, previously thought to only exist in childhood, using machine learning techniques. This finding suggests ongoing neuron formation in adults, opening new possibilities for treating neurodegenerative diseases.
A new study confirms that the human hippocampus continues to generate new neurons throughout adulthood, particularly in the dentate gyrus, which is crucial for memory and emotion regulation. Using RNA analysis and machine learning, researchers found ongoing neurogenesis across different ages, with potential implications for understanding brain aging, learning, and treating neurodegenerative diseases.
A study from Karolinska Institute confirms that the human hippocampus continues producing new neurons into late adulthood, with neural progenitor cells present up to age 78, potentially opening avenues for regenerative therapies for brain disorders.
A new study provides strong evidence that adult humans can generate new neurons in the hippocampus, potentially ending decades of debate and opening new avenues for understanding brain plasticity, learning, and recovery from injury.
Recent research from Sweden demonstrates that adult human brains continue to generate new neurons, particularly in the hippocampus, challenging the long-held belief that brain cell growth stops after childhood. The study analyzed over 400,000 individual cell nuclei, finding neural progenitor cells actively dividing in adults, which could have implications for treating neurological conditions and understanding brain plasticity. However, the extent and pattern of neurogenesis vary among individuals, raising further questions about its role in health and disease.
A recent study in Science confirms that new neurons continue to form in the adult human hippocampus, specifically in the dentate gyrus, from birth to age 78, with implications for understanding brain plasticity and potential regenerative treatments for neurodegenerative and psychiatric disorders.
Research suggests that adults may be capable of growing new brain cells, particularly in the hippocampus, although some scientists remain skeptical due to limitations in current measurement methods and conflicting evidence. The possibility of adult neurogenesis has significant implications for brain plasticity and potential therapies for brain injuries and neurodegenerative diseases.
