Your brain can still make new neurons when you’re an adult. But how does the rare birth of these new neurons contribute to cognitive function? Researchers know that new neurons contribute to memory ...
Scientists can finally hear the brain’s quietest messages—unlocking the hidden code behind how neurons think, decide, and ...
Memories and learning processes are based on changes in the brain's neuronal connections, and as a result, in signal ...
We found that new neurons in the adult brain are linked to reduced cognitive decline—particularly in verbal learning, or learning by listening to others. Researchers know that new neurons contribute ...
After injury, the visual system can recover by growing new neural connections rather than replacing lost cells. Researchers ...
