“TMS has also been shown to increase neurogenesis (growth of new brain cells) in mice.”

“Animal studies have shown that psilocybin increases neurogenesis which is the growth of new neurons in certain brain regions. Interestingly, serotonin is also linked to neurogenesis. I'm no expert in this field but I did interview the expert on psilocybin, Dr. Roland Griffiths.”

“Eight weeks after the transplant, the mice that received microbial samples from the old mice demonstrated increased neurogenesis – the process of forming new neurons – in the hippocampus region of their brains.”

“This 2022 review summarizes the evidence demonstrating that exercise training is a highly effective, economical, non-pharmacological strategy to maintain and improve cognitive function in aging. It also describes some of the mechanisms that drive the beneficial effects of exercise on cognitive function, including improved blood circulation, synaptic plasticity, and neurogenesis, among others.”

“This comprehensive review presents evidence demonstrating that combining exercise (aerobic and resistance training) with polyphenol supplementation (crocin, curcumin, and quercetin) improves mood, reduces anxiety, enhances cognitive function, and supports mental health more effectively than either intervention alone, through mechanisms such as neurogenesis, neurotransmitter modulation…”

“They found that EPA and DHA maintained neurogenesis and prevented programmed cell death via the effects of lipid mediators – a class of omega-3 fatty acid byproducts that influence immune health and inflammation.”

“The study found that injected young mice with blood from either old mice or old humans caused tissue inflammation and decreased neurogenesis (growth of new brain cells) in the young mice.”

“Fathers passed on exercise-related traits to their offspring including improved cognition, increased neurogenesis, and enhanced mitochondrial activity. These changes were passed down because of specific gene changes in the fathers’ sperm (animal study).”

“Olfactory system dysfunction may be due to decreased neurogenesis in the olfactory regions of the brains. In this way, changes in smell may signal decreased neurogenesis in other areas of the brain, which may indicate cognitive decline and Alzheimer’s disease progression.”

“Sedentary behavior may have negative effects on brain health by decreasing neurogenesis, synaptic plasticity, neurotrophin production, angiogenesis, and by increasing inflammation.”
