Can your adult brain grow new neurons to improve memory and mood?
In short: While we don't produce as many new nerve cells as children do, neuroscientist Sandrine Thuret explains how adults can still encourage neurogenesis to boost memory formation and help prevent age-related decline.
This video explores the process of adult neurogenesis—the production of new nerve cells within the adult brain. Sandrine Thuret, a neuroscientist at King's College London, discusses how stimulating this process can have significant benefits for mental health.
By encouraging the growth of these new neurons, it may be possible to improve overall mood and enhance the brain's ability to form memories. Thuret's research suggests that understanding these mechanisms offers a way to combat the natural decline associated with aging.
