New Brain Cells Aid Learning Through Listening in Adults

Originally Published 1 year ago — by ScienceAlert

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.

New Brain Cells Boost Language Skills and Memory

Originally Published 1 year ago — by Neuroscience News

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.
