Figure 1: Adult-generated neurons are involved in trace but not in delay conditioning. Figure 3: Reduction of adult-generated granule cells in the hippocampus does not affect neurophysiological ...

The adult brain is a plastic place. Neuronal responses to a changing environment can occur at the level of molecules, spines, dendrites, axons and, with processes of adult neurogenesis, at the level ...

Research into “neurogenesis”—the ability of certain brain areas to grow new brain cells—has recently taken an exciting turn. Not only has research discovered that we can foster new brain cell growth ...

Scientists at Johns Hopkins Medicine say results of a new study are advancing efforts to exploit a new target for Alzheimer's ...

Robust new research, published in the journal Translational Psychiatry, is reporting on several years of animal studies showing how a psychedelic drug called dimethyltryptamine (DMT) can promote brain ...

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 ...

A previously unknown mechanism has been discovered that is highly conserved between species and which regulates neurogenesis through precise temporal control of the activity of a family of proteins ...

Neurogenesis is more than just a concept in neuroscience, and has nuances that go beyond mere rattling statistics. It is the Catch-22 of the world of learning and development in humans and possibly ...

A staggering 280 million people suffer with depression worldwide, reports the World Health Organization, and many experience debilitating symptoms that are not effectively treated by currently ...

Neurogenesis can be influenced by positive and negative modulators. The role of gliogenesis There is increasing evidence that in addition to neurogenesis, stress and antidepressant treatment also ...

A recent study suggests that some of exercise’s brain-enhancing benefits can be transferred through tiny particles found in the blood. Researchers discovered that injecting these particles, called ...

Research in mice has found that N,N-dimethyltryptamine (DMT), one of the active ingredients of the psychedelic tea ayahuasca, can spark the creation of new nerve cells and improve spatial learning and ...
