FeaturedGeneticsNeurologyNeuroscience·May 24, 2019New neurons form in the brain into tenth decade of life, even in people with Alzheimer’sHippocampal neurogenesis continues to occur well into old age, and in those with Alzheimer's disease. Researchers found evidence of neurogenesis in people up to the age of 99. While neurogenesis continues to occur in those with Alzheimer's disease, it is significantly reduced compared to those who have normal cognitive function. Read More
