The average brain contains about 100 billion brain cells, most of which were formed before birth. In the earliest stages of childhood, new brain cells continue to be made at a brisk pace. Over the years, neurogenesis gradually declines, but the process doesn’t stop even into older age. That’s especially true in the hippocampus. There are two of the...
Scientists have explored several specific questions about neurogenesis. For example, what exactly "turns on" neurogenesis in the hippocampus? What effect does it have on memory? And perhaps most important, is it possible to increase neurogenesis to improve cognition in people with Alzheimer’s? Unfortunately, human studies on neurogenesis are limite...
Even though these findings were from animal studies, Dr. Tanzi says people could gain the same brain benefits through aerobic exercise. "Right now, there is no substitute for regular exercise to help with neurogenesis," says Dr. Tanzi. Yet it’s not clear what kind of exercise works best, nor how long and how much is enough. Until those questions ar...

Mar 1, 2023 · Summary: Some areas of the adult brain contain quiescent, or dormant, neural stem cells that can potentially be reactivated to form new neurons. However, the transition from quiescence to...
Mar 7, 2018 · In a direct challenge to earlier studies, the authors report adults produce no new cells in the hippocampus, a key hub for processing memories.
When cells divide, they make new cells. A single cell divides to make two cells and these two cells then divide to make four cells, and so on. We call this process "cell division" and "cell reproduction," because new cells are formed when old cells divide.

- You and I began as a single cell, or what you would call an egg. By the time you are an adult, you will have trillions of cells. That number depend...
- In cell division, the cell that is dividing is called the "parent" cell. The parent cell divides into two "daughter" cells. The process then repeat...
Mar 3, 2020 · Our livers are very good at regenerating themselves because they too can make new cells. The cells of the liver are called “hepatocytes”. Hepatocytes start to multiply when the liver is...

T cell support of immune responses comes in two broad categories: generation of “helper” T cells and generation of “cytotoxic” T cells. A broad generalization segregates helper function to CD4 T cells and cytotoxic functionality to CD8 T cells.
