SuperAgers over 80 generate twice as many new brain cells as typical older adults, explaining their exceptional memory that ...

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 ...

What Is the Limbic System? The limbic system is a part of the brain consisting of several components such as the hippocampus and amygdala and serving many functions within the body. While we have a ...

New research suggests that super-agers generate twice as many neurons as typical older adults. But you don't have to be a ...

For the first time, a study in rats teases apart the role of the hippocampus in two functions of memory—one that remembers associations between time, place and what one did, and another that allows ...

RIKEN neuroscientists have gained new insights into how the hippocampus generates and sustains oscillations, which will be helpful for informing models on how the brain region works. Thomas McHugh of ...

In a recent study published in Neuronal Psychiatry, researchers explored the molecular and cellular processes regulated by tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases-2 (TIMP2) in the extracellular matrix ...

The hippocampus plays a role in the brain's ability to learn and remember. In the Early Edition of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, Mody et al. report the use of a microarray ...
