SuperAger brains have a special supportive cellular environment in the hippocampus, which has also been termed as a ...

"Super-agers" seem to produce more new nerve cells in a brain region important for memory than other people their age ...

"This is biological proof that their brains are more plastic, and a real discovery that shows that neurogenesis of young ...

Superagers’ memory capacity rivals that of younger adults. A new study suggests their brains’ robust production of new neurons may be why.

Some older adults with exceptional memory grow far more new neurons in the hippocampus, while Alzheimer’s brains show almost ...

A pair of new studies have provided fresh evidence in the long-running scientific debate—and the result could be ...

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, ...

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. The research from Karolinska ...

Adults whose brains still have strong neuron production seem to have better memory and cognitive function than do those in ...

As far back as Plato and Aristotle, people believed that our memories had to be physical somethings that were stored somewhere in the brain. But only in modern times have we learned much about what ...
