Can Adults Make New Brain Cells? New Study May Finally Settle One of Neuroscience's Greatest Debates
- Researchers at Karolinska Institutet published a July 3, 2025, Science study reporting new neurons form in the hippocampus of some adults.
- This study addresses longstanding debate due to previous contrasting findings and technical challenges in detecting adult neurogenesis in humans.
- The team analyzed over 400,000 hippocampal nuclei from 24 individuals aged 0 to 78 using machine learning to identify progenitor cells linked to neuron formation.
- The models detected progenitor cells in nine donors with 83% accuracy, and Marta Paterlini said, "We are confident in our data," highlighting ongoing neurogenesis.
- The findings suggest adult neurogenesis persists, potentially informing regenerative treatments for brain disorders and reshaping views on lifelong brain plasticity.
