Which brain cells are active during deep sleep – and how do they affect memory formation?
There are neurons in the brain that activate during deep sleep to create memories. A new animal study showed that these brain cells might be the same as the ones responsible for investigating new objects. The experiment tracked the activity of single cells deep in the brains of both male and female mice as they […]

10 Ways to boost brain cell growth, even after your teenage years
The brain starts developing at conception and continues to grow until a person turns 21 years old – or so it was long believed. But brain growth doesn’t stop at that age. You can create new brain cells as you age, but only if you maintain an optimal environment for neurogenesis. Neurogenesis is the process […]

Easy ways to boost your intelligence (Hint: all of them are natural)
The brain, being the center of a person’s nervous system, helps the entire body to function. So to be able to take responsibility for our day-to-day lives, the brain is said to selfishly take energy for its own purpose before distributing it to other body parts. This prioritization is called the “selfish brain” theory, wherein our […]

Doing word puzzles and number games might be a good way to pass the time, but they’re not necessarily the best approach for boosting cognition, according to new research published in the journal Neuropsychologia. Scientists from Canada found that people who spend countless hours playing Sudoku or doing word puzzles probably aren’t going to achieve […]

Your brain may be older than your body, new study finds
A new animal study suggests that aging affects the brain earlier than the rest of the body. During the experiment, the immune cells of the brains of middle-aged mice showed similar activity to the ones in older mice, an article in American Physiological Society states. These cells are called microglia cells, which control potentially harmful […]
