Can adults grow new brain cells?
78% Informative
Some experts believe there's strong evidence that we can gain brain cells after childhood.
The process of creating new brain cells is called neurogenesis.
Neurogenesis is important for plasticity, or the brain's ability to adapt and change over time.
In mice, it's clear that lifestyle factors such as living in a stimulating environment and exercising can promote the growth of new neurons.
Arturo Alvarez-Buylla , a professor of neurological surgery at the University of California, San Francisco , has found little evidence to support the notion of neurogenesis in adults.
He's skeptical of the use of carbon-14 dating for this purpose, calling it "creative".
