新的研究表明,成人大脑可以产生新的神经元,挑战以前的信仰,为治疗疾病提供潜力。 New study suggests adult brains can generate new neurons, challenging previous beliefs and offering potential for treating diseases.

最近的研究挑战了这样一种信念,即人类大脑不再产生童年后的新神经元。 Recent research challenges the belief that human brains stop producing new neurons after childhood. Karolinska研究所的研究发现,成人大脑中的神经前体细胞能够产生新的神经元,特别是在对学习和记忆至关重要的河马坎普斯。 Studies by the Karolinska Institute found neural precursor cells in adult brains capable of generating new neurons, particularly in the hippocampus, which is crucial for learning and memory. 这种发现可能导致对抑郁症和阿尔茨海默氏症等疾病进行新的治疗,因为它表明大脑在整个生命中保持一定的再生能力。 This discovery could lead to new treatments for conditions like depression and Alzheimer's, as it suggests the brain retains some capacity for regeneration throughout life.
