Summary:
Researchers at at the City University of New York have discovered that stimulating the brains of mice with a magnetic coil, a procedure known as Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), appears to promote the growth of new neurons in areas associated with learning and memory. If the effect is confirmed in humans, it might open up new ways of treating age-related memory decline and diseases like Alzheimer's.
