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

At least 55 million people are living with dementia worldwide. Among the various forms of dementia, Alzheimer’s disease — a neurodegenerative disorder that is caused by a loss of neurons — is the most ...

Brains of older adults with super-healthy cognition grow more new neurons than those of their peers, according to a study ...

Study finds SuperAgers in their 80s and 90s produce twice as many young neurons as healthy adults and 2.5 times more than ...

While neurogenesis—the growth of new brain cells—typically slows with age, superagers produce new neurons in the hippocampus at twice the rate of healthy older adults. In contrast, individuals with ...

Older adults with exceptional memories continue to grow new brain cells. A recent study published in the journal Nature shows ...

The results include a comparison between two different basis functions for temporal selectivity and how these generate different predictions for the dynamics of neural populations. The conclusions are ...

For many heartbreaking diseases of the brain — dementia, Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s and others — doctors can only treat the symptoms. Medical science does not have a cure. Why? Because it’s difficult to ...

An EEG (electroencephalogram) is a painless test that uses small sensors placed on the scalp to measure the brain's electrical activity. It provides a real-time readout of brain "waves"—rhythms ...
