Neurogenesis slows way down.
Neurogenesis increases.
And neurogenesis is one of these pretty rare actual game changers in neuroscience.
for neurogenesis to occur.
Where neurogenesis , which is the birth of new neurons, happens.
It increases neurogenesis and new brain cells when you exercise.
Some are more neurogenesis related.
So that's what neurogenesis is.
We didn't know neurogenesis existed, let alone that it could be enhanced or slowed down.
is really good for neurogenesis .
And melatonin increases neurogenesis .
And the rate of neurogenesis slides off very quickly.
So where neurogenesis happens is in the hippocampus.
Chronic anger slows neurogenesis way down.
on our rate of neurogenesis .
When your rate of neurogenesis is high, it's like paddling downstream.
your rate of neurogenesis .
They stimulate neurogenesis .
Meaning when we prevented neurogenesis , the mice no longer avoided other mice.
That's why neurogenesis , for instance, the birth of new brain cells in, you know, even the adult brain, is very closely connected with physical exercise.
This concept of neurogenesis is very critical in-in the research.
You'll be inhibiting 'neurogenesis ,' the birth of new neurons.
And a high rate of neurogenesis , that is a high rate at which the brain is making new brain cells, is associated with the opposite,
And so your rate of neurogenesis is the most important biomarker for brain health and probably other types of health
that increase our rate of neurogenesis .
You increase the rate of neurogenesis 40%.
But when it comes to neurogenesis , there's only one kind that's effective.
Another really important driver of a neurogenesis is sleep.
So it turns out that stress slows neurogenesis to a crawl and particularly the sort of stress
It turns down the rate of neurogenesis .
So what SSRIs do is they increase neurogenesis along the emotional side of the hippocampus, which
So when your rate of neurogenesis is low, it's like paddling upstream.
Can you comment on intermittent fasting and neurogenesis ?
The single best way to increase neurogenesis is to get more exercise, to move about more.
I'd like to talk to you about neurogenesis today.
And they found out that they increased their rate of neurogenesis by five times.
And that these mice had big cognitive advantages over their normal neurogenesis -ranked peers.
We want to do those things that increase our rate of neurogenesis .
And inflammation is a disaster for the brain and for neurogenesis .
It just almost shuts off the process of neurogenesis .
When we look at wanting to cut out things that reduce neurogenesis , two of the big ones are alcohol and caffeine.
It turns out that's not effective for neurogenesis .
So what stress does is it slows down neurogenesis and it actually attacks the cells of the hippocampus.
this is how they really began to understand that neurogenesis was important.
But certain types of meditation and spiritual practice appear to increase neurogenesis along the entire length
It's the caffeine part that's bad for neurogenesis .
But it's the caffeine that turns down the rate of neurogenesis .
The second is it possible for us to measure our own neurogenesis or is this like self-surgery on our brains?
So there are a number of neuroimaging possibilities for looking at neurogenesis in the brain.
It will actually shrink the size of your hippocampus by inhibiting 'neurogenesis '- it will inhibit the birth of new neurons there.
