MIT scientists find that motor neuron growth increased significantly over 5 days in response to biochemical (left) and mechanical (right) signals related to exercise. The green ball represents cluster ...

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 ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Digital illustration of a neuron Our brains age along with the rest of our bodies, and as they do, they produce fewer new brain ...

A new computer simulation of how our brains develop and grow neurons has been built by scientists from the University of Surrey. Along with improving our understanding of how the brain works, ...

Researchers develop a 3D-printed, RNA-activated implant that silences the PTEN gene to promote nerve regrowth after spinal cord injury.

Researchers have found a new receptor for nerve growth factor that plays an important role in pain signaling, even though it does not signal on its own, according to a new study. The findings hold ...

Psychedelic drugs, such as lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD), can increase neuronal growth, which can have therapeutic effects for conditions such as schizophrenia. However, such drugs can induce ...

Lion's mane mushroom, with its unique appearance and potential health benefits, has become a popular choice among health ...

A new computer simulation of how our brains develop and grow neurons has been built. Along with improving our understanding of how the brain works, researchers hope that the models will contribute to ...
