Though it's now clear humans continue to grow new brain cells throughout their entire lives, debate persists over whether ...

Scientists say they have very strong evidence that the adult human brain is capable of making new neurons, a point of ongoing ...

Manaker says it’s fitting that walnuts look somewhat like tiny brains — take it as a hint from Mother Nature that this tree ...

Study shows neurons continue to form in adult brain's hippocampus, presenting new evidence on brain adaptability.

Scientists have found evidence of new brain cells sprouting in adults - a process that many thought only occurred in children ...

Researchers from Sweden have discovered that the human brain continues to grow new cells in the memory region—called the hippocampus—even into old age. Using advanced tools to examine brain samples ...

Even a bunch of brain cells on a culture plate can show evidence of learning, but what we didn't realize was that the same is true for other types of human cells, like these kidney-derived cells.

Memories can form outside of the brain, according to new research. Non-brain cells exposed to chemical pulses similar to the ones that brain cells are exposed to when presented with new ...

Kidney cells can make memories too. At least, in a molecular sense. Neurons have historically been the cell most associated with memory. But far outside the brain, kidney cells can also store ...
