While neurogenesis—the growth of new brain cells—typically slows with age, superagers produce new neurons in the hippocampus ...
The results include a comparison between two different basis functions for temporal selectivity and how these generate different predictions for the dynamics of neural populations. The conclusions are ...
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 ...
Adults whose brains still have strong neuron production seem to have better memory and cognitive function than do those in ...
A pair of new studies have provided fresh evidence in the long-running scientific debate—and the result could be ...
The findings, published in Nature on July 19, shed light on potential neural mechanisms involved in working memory and decision making. "Our study is a step toward thinking of the brain not in terms ...

Adding rat stem cells to a mouse embryo resulted in a ‘hybrid brain’ in which the rat cells stepped in to restore function when the mouse’s sense of smell was removed, new research has shown. It’s the ...
At least 55 million people are living with dementia worldwide. Among the various forms of dementia, Alzheimer’s disease — a ...
The first wiring diagram of every neuron in an adult brain and the 50 million connections between them has been produced for ...
Picture a star-shaped cell in the brain, stretching its spindly arms out to cradle the neurons around it. That's an astrocyte, and for a long time, scientists thought its job was caretaking the brain, ...
