More women than men get Alzheimer’s disease – this has been clearly demonstrated in clinical research, but we know less about ...

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 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 ...

An international collaborative study led by Australian scientists at the University of Queensland in Brisbane has demonstrated that dietary selenium supplementation mediates exercise-induced adult ...

The results of research in mice, headed by a team of researchers at the University of Queensland, has provided new insights into how exercise may help to prevent or slow cognitive decline during aging ...

Researchers have demonstrated the positive impact of exercise in the treatment of mice with PTSD-like symptoms, investigating the underlying biology of the association. Recent research led by Paul ...

A quarter-century ago, researchers discovered that adults, not just developing infants, can generate new brain cells, a process called neurogenesis. But it's still not clear what role these new ...

Neuroscientists have known for decades that aerobic exercise—such as running, brisk walking, or doing cardio on stationary equipment—stimulates the birth of new neurons (neurogenesis) in the ...

Destroying senescent cells in the aging stem cell niche enhances hippocampal neurogenesis and cognitive function in mice, researchers report. Destroying senescent cells in the aging stem cell niche ...

Research found the choroid plexus and cerebrospinal fluid play a key role in maintaining a pool of newly born neurons to repair the adult brain after injury. University of Cincinnati researchers have ...
