Study finds SuperAgers in their 80s and 90s produce twice as many young neurons as healthy adults and 2.5 times more than ...

Brains of older adults with super-healthy cognition grow more new neurons than those of their peers, according to a study ...

Older adults with exceptional memories continue to grow new brain cells. A recent study published in the journal Nature shows that this biological process nearly stops in people with Alzheimer's ...

Researchers at UCLA Health and UC San Francisco have identified a specific molecular mechanism that explains why certain ...

A new McGill University study has found a direct link between age-related declines in neuron activity in the cerebellum and ...

For many heartbreaking diseases of the brain — dementia, Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s and others — doctors can only treat the symptoms. Medical science does not have a cure. Why? Because it’s difficult to ...
