A chronological map of the fetal brain reveals when key cells emerge and provides clues about autism and cancer.
A pair of new studies have provided fresh evidence in the long-running scientific debate—and the result could be ...
A newly discovered biological chain reaction explains how high levels of a common brain chemical can lead to cellular ...
In the midst of our busy schedules, finding moments of silence can be a challenging task. However, a compelling body of scientific research now suggests that the act of sitting in silence for just two ...

Superagers' 'Secret Ingredient' May Be The Growth of New Brain Cells
Not only do our brains appear to generate new neurons into adulthood, but those of superagers contain far more brain cells in development than those of healthy peers, new research has found. According ...
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 ...
A new study has found that SuperAgers also grow more neurons than other older adults groups, helping to keep their brains healthy. As we age, it’s not uncommon for the brain to change in ways that can ...
Signalling between neurons and tumour cells in the lung and brain promotes the growth of small-cell lung cancer. These interactions might be a therapeutic target. Read the paper: Neuronal ...
Brains of older adults with super-healthy cognition grow more new neurons than those of their peers, according to a study ...
One hypothesis for how autism develops is excessive neuron production in the prenatal period, leading to a transient but significant increase in brain size in the first few years of life in about ...
A small study that examined brains from children who died found abnormal patterns of cell growth in autistic children. The research bolsters evidence that something before birth might cause autism, at ...
A hidden molecular chain reaction in the brain may push key cellular systems into overdrive in autism—and scientists just found a way to switch it off.
