1.) Cells are continually dividing and producing mature new cells. 2.) New cell growth may be found in areas of the adult brain outside of the hippocampus. 3.) Neurons play a wide range of roles in directing the operations of the body and the mind. 4.) The hippocampus is one small area of the cerebral cortex where a vast number of brain functions occur. 5.) The hippocampus part of the brain control emotions and memory. 6.) Regrowth of key adult brain cells (neurogenesis) in a critical area of the brain to the benefits of exercise as a stress reducer. 7.) The researchers predict that one cell could give rise to 10 quadrillion brain cells—enough to replace every cell in about 50 million adult brains. 8.) Glial cells are non-neural cells that perform "housekeeper" functions such as clearing out debris and excess materials. 9.) New cell growth may be found in areas of the adult brain outside of the hippocampus. 10.) Scientists reported substantial new cell growth in the brains of developing children under age 6. 11.) Neurogenesis refers to the production of new nerve cells. 12.) The hippocampus is the area where cell loss occurs in Alzheimer's patients. 13.) The hippocampus (learning and processing new memories), however, makes new neurons at a steady, vigorous pace. 14.) Also, the number of new neurons that are born and survive depends on what we do. Exercise and a full, meaningful life increase cell count. Stress and anxiety decease the numbers. 15.) In an adult, it takes about 30 days for a new-born cell to become a functioning neuron.
