Newborn neurons in adults may protect against cognitive decline

New neurons in adult brains are linked to improved verbal learning and reduced cognitive decline, highlighting their unique role in humans compared to mice and their potential as a target for future cognitive-enhancing treatments.

My lovely #Science peeps!

Not enough characters to go into detail, but ...

In 2014, #Dutch scientists left a #hamster wheel outside, to see if wild animals would use it like their domesticated counterparts.

Did they? Oh, YES! Wild #mice, #rats, #shrews, #slugs, even #frogs & #snails *

Why? Apparently for FUN! πŸ˜„

(#Fun defined as getting on, off, then willingly getting back on.)

*Snails were disqualified b/c they couldn't slime in a straight line 😳

Hippocampal neurogenesis decreases PTSD symptoms in mice, study finds

Researchers found that increasing hippocampal neurogenesis through interventions like exercise weakened trauma memories and reduced PTSD-like symptoms in mice, suggesting a potential mechanism for alleviating PTSD in humans, though further research is needed.
