Medically reviewed by Nicholas R. Metrus, MD Key Takeaways Neurons are cells that transmit electrical signals through the nervous system.Motor neurons control muscle activity and movement by carrying ...

We found that new neurons in the adult brain are linked to reduced cognitive decline—particularly in verbal learning, or learning by listening to others. Researchers know that new neurons contribute ...

Neurons aren’t just brain cells—they’re intricate biological machines that transmit, process, and adapt to information using both electrical and chemical signals. Supported by glial cells, they form ...

Your brain can still make new neurons when you’re an adult. But how does the rare birth of these new neurons contribute to cognitive function? Researchers know that new neurons contribute to memory ...
