Older people can still produce brain cells even at 79, study says

The video discusses a study by scientists from the University of Columbia on neurogenesis, the process of producing new neurons, even in older adults. The study examined the brains of 28 deceased individuals aged 14 to 79 to determine if aging affects neuron production. Researchers found similar numbers of neuroprogenitor cells and immature neurons across all ages, leading to the conclusion that the human brain can produce neurons even in old age.
