A study from Sweden’s Karolinska Institute shows the brain produces new neurons well into old age, overturning previous beliefs. Researchers found immature cells in the hippocampus up to age 78, linked to memory and learning. Neurogenesis varies by genetics and lifestyle, influencing cognitive health. This discovery offers hope for treating Alzheimer’s, depression, and more—highlighting that the brain can renew itself throughout life with the right support.
