At what age do neurons stop regenerating? The scientific consensus shifts on adult neurogenesis

For decades, a central dogma in neuroscience stated that the adult human brain could not generate new neurons. However, landmark studies in recent years have upended this belief, providing mounting evidence that neurogenesis—the process of forming new neurons—continues in specific brain regions, well into old age. This fundamental shift in understanding profoundly impacts how we approach topics related to healthy aging and senior care, including the crucial question: At what age do neurons stop regenerating?

What Age Do Brain Cells Stop Regenerating? The Science of Neurogenesis

For decades, it was a widely held belief that adults were born with a finite number of neurons and that the process of creating new brain cells, or neurogenesis, ceased after adolescence. Modern research, however, reveals a more hopeful and nuanced answer to the question of **what age do brain cells stop regenerating**.
