Not only do neural progenitors persist in the adult brain, but many of these cells are in active stages of division.

A new study finds rare neural stem cells in the adult human hippocampus, suggesting some brains can generate new neurons into ...

An interaction between two proteins points to a molecular basis for memory. But how do memories last when the molecules that ...

"We have now been able to identify these cells of origin, which confirms that there is an ongoing formation of neurons in the hippocampus of the adult brain," says Jonas Frisen, Professor of Stem Cell ...
