1. Running. Going for runs and aerobic activity in general has been linked to neurogenesis. Interestingly enough it is also a great way to reduce stress if done in moderation.
Scientific studies now show that the brain can continue to produce new cells, called neurons, as we age, even late into life, through a process called neurogenesis. How well the brain does this — and how we can enhance it — may solve the puzzle for improving age-related memory loss and perhaps prevent dementia, including Alzheimer’s disease.
Some ways to help rewire your brain and boost cognitive function include exercising regularly, stimulating your brain with activities like reading, playing music, learning a new language, and...
Every brain changes with age, and mental function changes along with it. Mental decline is common, and it's one of the most feared consequences of aging. But cognitive impairment is not inevitable. Here are 12 ways you can help maintain brain function. 1. Get mental stimulation
Can we, as adults, grow new neurons? Neuroscientist Sandrine Thuret says that we can, and she offers research and practical advice on how we can help our brains better perform neurogenesis ...
Calorie restriction and fasting can not only increase synaptic plasticity and promote neuron growth but it can also decrease your risk of developing neurodegenerative diseases and boost...
Adults don't generate as many new neurons as children or teenagers, but some growth is still happening. Neuroscientist Sandrine Thuret explains how we can encourage the production of more...
