Research shows that adult humans can grow new brain cells in the memory center up until at least our 70s. So what can we do to optimize this process? Pre-clinical data suggests that certain nutrients and foods may be most optimal for supporting the growth of and connections between neurons. While again, this is data that is coming from animal models it is important to be aware that our diet could influence these pathways. #Neurogenesis #Neuroscience. | Austin Perlmutter, MD

A groundbreaking new study has revealed something astonishing: human memory may be stored throughout the entire body. Scientists have discovered that even non-brain cells—like those from the kidneys and nerves—can recognize patterns, activate memory-related genes, and exhibit learning behavior previously believed to be exclusive to neurons. | The Brain Maze
