The term neurogenesis is made up of the words “neuro” meaning “relating to nerves” and “genesis” meaning the formation of something. The term therefore refers to the growth and development of neurons.
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 ...
Our understanding of how the brain functions and undergoes adaptation and plasticity has changed dramatically over the past several years. A great deal of work has demonstrated that altered levels of ...
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 ...
Neurogenesis occurs continuously in the forebrain of adult mammals, but the functional importance of adult neurogenesis is still unclear. Here, using a genetic labeling method in adult mice, we found ...
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 new Genomic Press Interview with Prof. Dr. Paul Lucassen shares insights from his research spanning 30 years in which he ...
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 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 ...

In neuroscience breakthrough, scientists identify key component of how exercise triggers neurogenesis
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 ...
The sleeping child's brain is busy building and developing(Jurgita Photograph/ Getty Images) When it comes to the brain, ‘use it or lose it’ should be the mantra ...
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 ...
