Adult Neurogenesis
Adult neurogenesis describes the generation of new brain cells during adulthood, a phenomenon once thought to be impossible. It takes place primarily in two areas: hippocampus, more precisely in the dentate gyrus, and subventricular zones lining the brain ventricle. In the hippocampus, the neurons are thought to be engaged with learning, memory and emotional control, whereas in the subventricular zone, they migrate to the olfactory bulb, being engaged with the sense of smell. It is governed by genetic factors, but also shaped by lifestyle – regular exercise, proper nutrition, low stress, and proper sleep can enhance neurogenesis, but aging and chronic stress can reduce it. Studying adult neurogenesis provides insights into brain plasticity and has the possibility of treating memory loss, depression, and neurodegenerative disease.
