Summary:
Neurobiologists have discovered why the aging brain produces progressively fewer new nerve cells in its learning and memory center. The study's senior investigator said the finding, made in rodents, suggests the possibility of treating various neurodegenerative disorders, including Alzheimer's disease, dementia and depression, by stimulating the brain's ability to produce new nerve cells.
