Neurogenesis continues throughout life and we have the capacity to establish new neural pathways and strengthen existing ones.

“What happens to the brain during exercise? At the start of physical activity, the brain recognizes this period as a moment of stress. And…

“when animals are on a reduced-calorie diet (typically reduced by around 30 percent), their brain production of BDNF shoots up and they show dramatic…

“All of that was eventually shown—there’s considerable adult neuro-genesis in the hippocampus (where roughly 3 percent of neurons are replaced each month) and lesser…

Throughout our lifetimes, we are constantly regenerating new brain cells in the hippocampus, a process called neurogenesis. New stem cells are constantly being born…

There are many ways in which genes influence the brain.

— Sebastian Seung

“Two foods that slow the rate of neurogenesis are sugars and oxidized (damaged) fats. When oxidized fats get into your bloodstream, they cause inflammation.…
