A new bioengineered neuronal circuit board "BioConNet" allows scientists to artificially engineer human brain-like wiring at scale and can be used to engineer any possible circuit. The fully ...

Adults whose brains still have strong neuron production seem to have better memory and cognitive function than do those in ...

A new study reveals a connection between early life trauma and adult brain aging. Adults reporting severe childhood stress ...

Black Americans are nearly twice as likely as their white counterparts to develop dementia and also face some of the highest obesity rates in the nation — troubling numbers as St. Louis researchers ...

Older adults with exceptional memories continue to grow new brain cells. A recent study published in the journal Nature shows that this biological process nearly stops in people with Alzheimer's ...

Later, they showed them photos of birds — some from the original task, some new — and found that those who grouped the birds according to detailed traits were able to recall which ones were new and ...

Scientists at the University of Illinois College of Medicine Chicago found that “SuperAgers” generate twice as many new ...

As prevalent as dementia is—affecting over 7 million Americans annually, and projected to double in the next 30 years—Northwestern University’s 25-year SuperAger study only gets more timely with time.

Brains of older adults with super healthy cognition grow more new neurons than those of their peers, according to a study from UIC, Northwestern University and the University of Washington.

While neurogenesis—the growth of new brain cells—typically slows with age, superagers produce new neurons in the hippocampus at twice the rate of healthy older adults. In contrast, individuals with ...

Brains of older adults with super-healthy cognition grow more new neurons than those of their peers, according to a study ...
