In this video, a neuroscientist reveals how to grow new brain cells. It provides you with a summary of the brilliant talk titled "You can grow new brain cells. Here's how" by Professor Sandrine Thuret.

We will learn about how the adult human brain forms new neurons in the hippocampus and the role of the hippocampus in memory, learning, emotion, and mood. Dr. Thuret also details science-proven ways of promoting the growth of new neurons in the hippocampus and emphasizes the impact of diet and its importance.

Throughout this video, we will explore the fascinating process of neurogenesis, or the creation of new neurons, within the adult human brain. Focusing primarily on the hippocampus, a region of the brain that plays vital roles in the consolidation of information from short-term memory to long-term memory, and in spatial memory that enables navigation. Professor Thuret sheds light on the hippocampus's function in cognitive processes such as memory formation, learning capacity, emotional regulation, and mood determination.

Delving deeper into the matter, Dr. Thuret elucidates scientifically verified methods that encourage the proliferation of new neurons within the hippocampus. These methods and habits that influence brain health and overall cognitive function, and range from physical activity, intellectual stimulation, stress management, to ensuring adequate sleep.

A significant part of the discussion is devoted to the influence of diet on neurogenesis. Dr. Thuret emphasizes the profound impact that our food choices can have on the generation of new neurons. She presents compelling evidence linking dietary patterns to brain health, explaining how certain nutrients and foods can enhance or inhibit neurogenesis.

With a blend of neurobiological principles and practical advice, this video strives to provide a comprehensive understanding of the brain's capacity for self-renewal. This knowledge can not only alter our perception of brain health but also empower us to take tangible steps towards maintaining and improving our cognitive well-being throughout our lives.
