  1. Why the lack of neurogenesis in adults may be an evolved positive trait in mammals. In song birds:

    “... as the new neurons move through the brain, they seem to be pushing or deforming the tissue,” Scott says. “You could imagine that they might be altering the circuit, breaking connections that are the basis of stored memories.”

  2. Quiescent hippocampal #NeuralStemCells (NSCs) support #neurogenesis in adulthood. This study shows that NSCs have different levels of quiescence & that Sox5 controls the balance between shallow & deep quiescence during hippocampal development @PLOSBiology plos.io/44Su34u

  3. Amaia Alcalde Anton (scientific and medical finalist): From Butterflies to Humans, 2023

    This is the brain of a butterfly undergoing metamorphosis as new neurones are born through a process called #neurogenesis. Studying this process can provide valuable insights into how the nervous system is formed, as well as brain disorders, says scientist Alcalde Anton.

  5. My lovely #Science peeps!

    Not enough characters to go into detail, but ...

    In 2014, #Dutch scientists left a #hamster wheel outside, to see if wild animals would use it like their domesticated counterparts.

    Did they? Oh, YES! Wild #mice, #rats, #shrews, #slugs, even #frogs & #snails *

    Why? Apparently for FUN! 😄

    (#Fun defined as getting on, off, then willingly getting back on.)

    *Snails were disqualified b/c they couldn't slime in a straight line 😳

  6. Fasting-style diets can trigger dynamic changes in the brain, promoting neurogenesis, reducing inflammation, and protecting against diseases like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s. Combined with an active lifestyle and balanced diet, intermittent fasting may enhance both mental and physical health. Maintaining this balance is critical to supporting cognitive function and overall well-being as we age.

  7. I have to intersperse some way cool science with all the bad stuff that we are dealing with.

    "In mice, pregnancy results in new neurons that support recognition of pups"

  8. Running Rewires the Aging Brain: Exercise Protects Memory Function

    Physical activity, particularly running, has been found to rewire aging brains, helping to preserve memory functions.
    Long-term running keeps older neurons wired, potentially preventing age-related memory loss and neurodegeneration.

  12. Exercise and the Brain: The Neuroscience of Fitness Explored

    Regular exercise profoundly impacts our brain and nervous system.
    Exercise stimulates neurogenesis – the creation of new neurons – primarily in the hippocampus, influencing memory and learning while increasing key mood-regulating neurotransmitters. It also enhances brain plasticity, essential for recovery from injury and aging, and improves cognitive functions such as attention and memory.
