Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a serious neurodegenerative disease largely affecting older adults. Apart from age, it also shows sex-based differences, with women being more at risk. However, the origin ...

For over a decade, neuroscientists have been trying to figure out how neurogenesis (the birth of new neurons) and neuroplasticity (the malleability of neural circuits) work together to reshape how we ...

Every year, millions of infants and children undergo surgery under general anesthesia in the world. Sevoflurane is a commonly ...

This study in neonatal rats revealed that the common inhaled pediatric anesthetic, sevoflurane, impairs neurogenesis and ...

Recent research has identified a specific biological mechanism that may explain why females experience more severe ...

The human brain is much more flexible than we ever thought. New studies have begun to suggest that, even in adulthood, the ...

Researchers have demonstrated the positive impact of exercise in the treatment of mice with PTSD-like symptoms, investigating the underlying biology of the association. Recent research led by Paul ...

Neural stem cells (NSCs) are undifferentiated cells capable of extensive self‐renewal and the production of specialised cell types, including neurons, astrocytes and oligodendrocytes. In the adult ...

For more than a decade, there’s been growing proof that adult humans can form new neurons in the hippocampus, but scientists were still missing evidence of a missing link known as “neural progenitor ...

The results of research in mice, headed by a team of researchers at the University of Queensland, has provided new insights into how exercise may help to prevent or slow cognitive decline during aging ...

Neuroscientist and mindset coach Emily McDonald is sharing four ways to boost the birth of new brain cells, a process known as neurogenesis -- exercise, meditation, polyphenol-rich foods and sunlight.
