FOXO3, a gene linked to longevity in humans, protects neural stem cells from the negative effects of stress.
A newly developed biodegradable microcapsule that delivers nerve growth factor guides the development of hippocampal neurons in in-vitro experiments.
Mentally and physically demanding tasks trigger functional hypoxia across the brain. This oxygen shortage activates Epo, which stimulates the growth of new neurons and synapses.
High concentrations of phytonutrients from apples stimulate neurogenesis and could help boost brain function.
A new series of studies review the roles neuroplasticity and neurogenesis play in alcohol addiction and recovery.
Experiencing trauma or extreme stress during childhood can lead to structural changes in the hippocampus and amygdala that can be seen decades later.
The inhibition of GCK-IV kinases leads to robust neuroprotection while permitting axon regeneration. The findings could lead to new treatments for neurodegenerative diseases.
Reductive stress promotes protein aggregation in neuroblastoma cells and impairs neurogenesis.
Free radicals help control cellular processes vital for neuroplasticity and neurogenesis in mice.
Expressing neuron enriched mitochondrial proteins, researchers achieved a four times higher glial cell conversion rate and simultaneously increased the speed of neural reprogramming.
DMT, a natural component of ayahuasca tea promotes neurogenesis, a new study reports. Researchers found DMT was capable of activating neural stem cells and promoted the formation of new neurons.
Parkinson's patients have reduced acylated-ghrelin to unacylated-ghrelin ratios in their blood. Lower levels of unacylated-ghrelin have been associated with a reduced ability to generate new neurons and memory impairments.
