The existence of neurogenesis in the adult human brain raises the exciting possibility that by manipulating neural precursor cells (NPCs) it might be possible to repair neurological damage.

More importantly, it explores potential strategies to reactivate these cells and stimulate neurogenesis—offering hope for combating age-related cognitive decline and brain damage. Role of ...

Thirty percent of this work was supported by federal funding from the National Institutes of Health (grants R56AG064077, R01AG076956, and U01MH098937). Additional support came from the Donald E ...

In this study, we aimed to examine whether ADNP is involved in the process known as 'neurogenesis'—the formation of new neurons from stem cells in the adult brain, a process essential for memory ...
