ICYMI: Adults Can Still Grow New Brain Cells — This Is How

This is a great video explaining how cancer medication can inhibit the growth of new neurons in the brain, leading to depression in cancer patients. In addition blocking of the growth of neurons causes memory capacity deficiency (the ability to recall things such as where you parked your car) Even if you are not taking cancer medication it is an excellent description of how the brain exchanges neurons during our life.

Neuron regeneration can be increased or decreased by habits and environment. The knowledge of what these factors are can help us to make changes in our lives to help increase the production of new neurons. If you need an inspiration to exercise and remain active this is it!
