Rudolph Tanzi, a neuroscientist and co-director of the McCance Center for Brain Health at Harvard-affiliated Massachusetts General Hospital. "While most brains can develop new cells, the goal for science now is to find the best ways to do that," says Dr. How well the brain does this - and how we can enhance it - may solve the puzzle for improving age-related memory loss and perhaps prevent dementia, including Alzheimer’s disease. Scientific studies now show that the brain can continue to produce new cells, called neurons, as we age, even late into life, through a process called neurogenesis. You simply used what you were born with, and if they died through age or injury, that was that. It was once thought the brain could not create new cells. Science suggests it’s possible to make new brain cells and improve your memory.
