In the hippocampus, a critical brain region for learning and memory, new cells emerge in some people into late adulthood, ...

The team suspects that neurogenesis happens in other parts of the adult brain, too. In mice, new neurons are regularly made ...

Earlier studies mostly focused on neurogenesis—the generation of neurons in the brain—and fast neuron migration all moving in one direction early in the development of an embryo.

The human brain is made up of billions of nerve cells (neurons) that communicate with each other in vast, interconnected ...
