Research papers on neurogenesis

Neurogenesis is the process by which new neurons, or brain cells, are formed. Research has shown that neurogenesis primarily occurs in a brain region called the hippocampus, which is important for learning and memory. Factors like exercise, a stimulating environment, and certain diets can enhance neurogenesis, while stress and aging may reduce it. Recent studies suggest that increasing neurogenesis could help improve cognitive function and even aid in recovery from brain injuries. Understanding how this process works could lead to new treatments for mood disorders and neurodegenerative diseases.
