We now know new neurons and other brain cells can form throughout life, particularly in the hippocampus. Neurogenesis helps us maintain cognitive function, memory, and emotional well-being as we age. However, our daily habits strongly influence neurogenesis. Physical exercise, intellectual stimulation, and nutritious eating support neuron growth. C

In my research on cognitive science, I learned that the brain, much like our muscles, thrives on regular exercise. Neurons, dendrites, and axons are not just passive structures; they are dynamic and constantly reshaping themselves in response to mental and physical stimulation.
