Every new skill, habit, or memory isn’t built from scratch - it’s wired into your existing network. Neurons grow tiny branches called dendritic spines that connect with other cells. The more you use a pathway, the stronger and faster it becomes. Unused connections? They gradually fade, like forgotten shortcuts. And while most neurons don’t regenerate, special regions like the hippocampus can grow new ones - a process called neurogenesis. Still, memory and learning largely come from reshaping exi

Swedish scientists have confirmed a groundbreaking discovery: adults can continue to grow new brain cells well into old age. This challenges the long-held belief that neurogenesis, or the creation of new neurons, stops after childhood. The study shows that the adult brain remains capable of producing neurons in key areas linked to memory, mood, and cognitive function. This revelation reshapes neuroscience, highlighting the brain’s remarkable ability to adapt and heal throughout life. It also ope

Swedish scientists confirm adults can grow new brain cells, reshaping neuroscience and therapy possibilities. For years, it was believed that neurogenesis—the process of growing new brain cells—was something that only occurred in childhood. But recent groundbreaking research out of Sweden has confirmed that adults, too, can regenerate brain cells, particularly in the hippocampus, the area of the brain responsible for memory and learning. This discovery has profound implications for the treatment
