#Superagers' 'Secret Ingredient' May Be The Growth of New Brain Cells
According to a study of 38 adult human #brains donated to #science, superagers – people who retain exceptional memory as they #age – have roughly twice as many immature #neurons as their peers who age more typically.
Moreover, people with #Alzheimer's disease show a marked reduction in neurogenesis compared to a normal baseline.
