A study on mice found that interventions increasing the creation of new neurons in the hippocampus (hippocampal neurogenesis) weaken memories of traumatic events and reduce PTSD symptoms.

As early as the 1960s, Altman and Das provided good evidence for neurogenesis in the adult rat hippocampus, and in 1967 the same authors, moved beyond 'evidence' and presented a paper simply ...

Research has also shown that environmental enrichment enhances neurogenesis in the dentate gyrus, a part of the hippocampus in which the birth of new neurons and glia continues in adulthood.

Within the irradiated hippocampus, precursor proliferation is reduced by 62% and neuro-genesis is almost entirely ablated. The absence of neurogenesis could be due to the dysfunction and/or loss ...

This is called adult hippocampal neurogenesis. Studies suggest that hippocampal adult neurogenesis may play a key role in learning, memory processes, and mood regulation. Recent studies indicate ...

Moreno-Jiménez Immature (red) and mature (blue) neurons in the hippocampus in a 68 year-old. In healthy brains there was a "slight decrease" in the amount of this neurogenesis with age.
