RMAT designation is based on promising Phase 2 clinical data demonstrating NG01’s potential to reduce disability and ...

"This is biological proof that their brains are more plastic, and a real discovery that shows that neurogenesis of young neurons in the hippocampus may be a contributing factor," said Tamar Gefen.

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 look inside the brains of extraordinarily sharp elderly people reveals clues about their unusual abilities. Deep in these exceptional brains were signs of what some scientists believe to be newborn ...

New neuroscience research identifies Glutamine Synthetase as the key enzyme driving postnatal brain maturation and neuronal connectivity via the mTOR pathway.

Mitochondrial fusion grants new neurons a competitive advantage Adult neurogenesis takes place in the hippocampus, a brain region controlling aspects of cognition and emotional behavior. Consistently, ...

The ability to shift from one type of cognitive problem-solving strategy to another when the circumstances change, called cognitive adaptability or flexibility, is an essential function for humans.

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 ...

The human brain may continue producing new neurons in adulthood, a finding that could help explain healthy aging.

Recent research conducted by Swedish scientists has made a revolutionary discovery: the human brain can continue to produce new cells, even in old age. This finding challenges long-held beliefs about ...
