Johns Hopkins researchers found that loss of the brain enzyme cystathionine γ-lyase (CSE), which makes hydrogen sulfide, causes memory loss and Alzheimer’s-like brain damage in mice, highlighting CSE as a potential drug target to boost brain health and slow neurodegeneration.
Exercise benefits brain health by releasing substances into the bloodstream, particularly vesicles that promote neurogenesis, and these effects may be transferable between individuals, as shown in mouse studies. This research suggests a complex, multi-pathway process behind exercise's positive impact on the brain.
The article discusses how transcriptional interference mechanisms ensure that each ant olfactory neuron expresses only one olfactory receptor, highlighting the complex regulation of receptor gene expression during neurogenesis.
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.
A mouse study found that low vitamin K intake reduces brain vitamin K levels, impairs learning and memory, decreases neurogenesis in the hippocampus, and increases neural inflammation, suggesting vitamin K's importance for cognitive health.
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.
A study using brain tissue from epilepsy patients reveals that adult neurogenesis, the creation of new brain cells, is crucial for verbal learning and memory. The research found a direct link between fewer immature brain cells and cognitive decline, particularly in verbal learning and memory. This suggests potential therapies, such as exercise or drugs, to boost neurogenesis and improve cognitive function in conditions like epilepsy, Alzheimer's, and aging. The findings highlight the importance of studying human brain tissue to gain insights not visible in animal models.
Recent research highlights that adults can grow new brain cells, particularly neurons that are crucial for learning through auditory experiences. This discovery challenges previous beliefs that neurogenesis was limited to early development and opens new avenues for understanding how adults can continue to learn and adapt through listening.
Researchers from the University of Toronto and Kyushu University found that enhancing neuron formation and neural circuit rewiring in the hippocampus through exercise or genetic manipulation can help mice forget traumatic or drug-associated memories. This discovery suggests new treatment methods for PTSD and drug addiction, highlighting the significant impact of exercise on mental health.
