People Grow Brain Cells Well Into Their 80s | SciShow News

The video discusses recent research on neurogenesis, showing that new neurons can form in adults, even into their late 80s. A study found differences in neurogenesis between Alzheimer's patients and controls, highlighting the importance of methodology in detecting new neurons. Additionally, research on hallucinations suggests they may result from decreased brain activity, challenging previous beliefs. This could lead to new treatments for conditions like schizophrenia and depression.
