The “missing link” helps adults grow new neurons—something long thought to end after childhood—and that discovery could lead ...

Researchers from Sweden have discovered that the human brain continues to grow new cells in the memory region—called the hippocampus—even into old age. Using advanced tools to examine brain samples ...

New neurons in your brain? A landmark study from Karolinska Institutet finds adults keep forming brain cells into the old age ...

The research from Karolinska Institutet in Sweden provides answers to a fundamental and long-debated question about the human brain's adaptability. Subscribe to our newsletter for the latest sci-tech ...

A study in the journal Science presents compelling new evidence that neurons in the brain's memory centre, the hippocampus, continue to form well into late adulthood.

Scientists in Austria are studying live human brain cells and comparing them to those of mice. Their findings raise new ...

Scientists have found evidence of new brain cells sprouting in adults - a process that many thought only occurred in children ...

The birth of new neurons in human memory circuits, in other words, declines during childhood to undetectable levels in the adult. When our recent study met significant skepticism, we weren't ...

The lab's new research, based on careful analysis of 59 samples of human hippocampus from UCSF and collaborators around the world, suggests new neurons may not be born in the adult human brain at all.

Scientists in Sweden led the study, published Thursday in Science. They found abundant signs of neural stem cells growing in ...

The lab's new research, based on careful analysis of 59 samples of human hippocampus from UCSF and collaborators around the world, suggests new neurons may not be born in the adult human brain at all.

After years of debate, scientists provided new evidence for the lifelong birth of human brain cells, which may inform future ...
