Adults grow new brain cells - and these neurons are key to learning by listening
Briefly

Our newly published research reveals that the new neurons that form in adults' brains are linked to how you learn from listening to other people.
Researchers know that new neurons contribute to memory and learning in mice. However, technical challenges in humans led scientists to doubt their significance.
We studied patients with drug-resistant epilepsy and found that new neurons are linked to reduced cognitive decline, particularly in verbal communication and memory.
The absence of new neurons may contribute to the cognitive challenges faced by patients with neurological disorders, but further research is needed to explore this connection.
