Can we, as adults, grow new neurons? Neuroscientist Sandrine Thuret says that we can, and she offers research and practical advice on how we can help our brains better perform neurogenesisā€”improving mood, increasing memory formation and preventing the decline associated with aging along the way.

I doubt anyone will believe me but, I watched this video a year ago after coming out of a 5 year relapse. I used to be a very bright kid, however after so many years of drug abuse my brain wasnt working as well as it had beforehand. I watched this video and implemented all of its suggestions. Ive eaten blueberries every morning, slept as much as I can (I always go to bed by 11 at least except on special occasions) Ive run 3-4 times a week for 45 minutes or more, and Ive avoided junk food and stress. My friend who I met in rehab a year ago told me a month ago that I seem so much brighter than the day he met me. My memory is so accurate that i dont have to keep a to do list, its all in my head. I can always remember what I have talked about throughout the day, when before Id forget to finish the conversation I was having. Its astounding and I contribute the healing of my brain to this video. i can now read books when before my attention span was so terrible I couldn't finish a paragraph. and yes, its also because Ive been clean for over a year :)

I believe my grandfather knew about his back when he was alive; he lived from 1906 to 2001. I know he had a very good memory, and was very sharp in how he spoke, and formed words. Everyone who talked to him thought he had a doctorates. All he did was walk a lot, and keep his mind stimulated with books. He memorized an original Websters Dictionary along with the Bible; he could tell you word for word with punctuation what was on both. I can see that this really does work!!! Thank you for the Ted Talk!!!

About 10 years ago I had the privilege to intern with Sandrine for a few months. What I admire most about her apart from the science she does is that she practices what she preaches. She was to me a living example that her advice regarding food intake and exercise work really well.

As a summary: if you have a healthy life, diet, exercise, etc. you will increase production of neurons and lower depression.

Itā€™s crazy to me how difficult it has become to do the basics required for mental and physical health. I, like most, embraced decline at 45 and then -after feeling tired and foggy all the time - simply started to do all the things we all know are important. Sleep, hydration, nutrition, exercise and daily meditation. Iā€™m 53 now - am going through an extremely stressful life change (death of my life/biz partner). People Iā€™ve not seen for 10 years donā€™t recognize me - in a good way - because doing these simple things are absolutely transformative. I weigh what I did at 20, Iā€™m in a good mood most of the time, I have all the energy I need and experience a clear head every day. I canā€™t imagine how much more difficult grief would be if Iā€™d not embraced the idea we arenā€™t meant to feel awful all the time.

This is actually the main reason I started running after reading the benefits on Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF) which is released while running, yes I enjoy the cardiovascular benefits, endorphin release, alleviated stress, fitness etc. But the main reason why I started running was actually to help me study, concentrate and retain information better. Studying computer programming at university is an abstract skill that requires a lot of learning and consolidation of new brain cells, before I started running I could barely last 5 minutes staring at the screen before zoning out and then procrastinating on social media. Running literally allowed me to sustain concentration, learn and solve problems much better, increasing my work productivity a lot!

To real summ up: Ways to increase neurogenesis: 1. Calorie restriction of 20 to 30 percent 2. Intermittent fasting (i.e., spacing the time between your meals) 3. Intake of flavonoids, which are contained in dark chocolate or blueberries 4. Omega-3 fatty acids, present in fatty fish, like salmon

Makes sense. After I had chemo my brain did not work well anymore and I suffered depression. Even diagnosed with bipolar disorder and couldn't get by without meds for years. I became vegetarian and started eating a lot of fresh fruits and veggies and yea a lot of dark chocolate. I didn't run but I did power walk everyday for at least an hour a day and did yoga to help me distress. When I started I had a notebook that I had to write everything in or I would forget. Even conversations I had would be lost. I could remember how to get places I had been going my whole life and could remember my doctors names or the names of people I went to school with when I saw them on the street. It got so bad that one day I lost my notebook while out of town. I sat on the floor and cried because I was so lost and confused. The people I was with helped me call every shop we had been to that day until we found my notebook. It took me years to get myself back to where I didn't need the book but I now believe it's because of my diet and excercise habits that I'm able to be ok. I'm always reading now and trying to learn new things. Before people kept saying I needed to see a doctor because something was wrong with me. Now the same people say I know a lot and ask me about different things. I'm in a group online where a lot of women have what they call chemo brain. It's really bad and for some people the worst of it is lasting 10 and 15 years. For me it was more like 5 years or horror. I don't want to go back to that.

I have had two significant brain traumas. the first was a Cerebral Sinus Thrombosis while pregnant and the second was a stroke 3 years later. I was left side affected and had deficits in every way. I worked with speech, physical, occupational therapists. I am living proof that we can not only rewire our brains after some trauma, we can grow neurons. I am now 49, 15 years post-stroke, and I am learning ukulele, guitar, and piano. I've been taking lessons since July and am already playing full songs (reading music). I also walk normally, speak quite well, and can feel my mouth! I am also on the autism spectrum and two children, 21 and 18. I'm amazed. The brain is amazing.

As someone who is recovering from a hemorrhagic stroke, this is encouraging. I used to think it was just downhill from here, and that I would have to make due with whatever remaining brain cells I had. It's good to hear that healthy living can help restore what I lost.

Its taken me over 3 years but Im starting to overcome severe neurological damage from a bad car accident. Ironically the key seemed to be putting my marijuana card to work 24/7 for about 4 months, slowly forgetting the bad network. I learned how to deal with the body wide chaos, freeing me to battle the bad impulses while trying to accomplish simple tasks. I was told I wouldnā€™t recover, that physical therapy wouldnā€™t even be helpful. I started weight lifting again just 2 weeks ago and I canā€™t understand how Iā€™m so strong. Neurogenesis is the key to healing much that ails our society and few understand it. PS same doctors that said I wouldnā€™t get better also didnt like that pot helped, 1 hospital even billed my insurance for addiction treatment while I was there and told me to discontinue use and replace it with advil/Tylenol. Thanks big pharma you have a doctors worse brain damage than me!
