Description: The adult brain continues to produce new neurons throughout life. The cells are produced in the hippocampus, a brain region necessary for select processes of learning. Once produced, many of the new neurons die unless a new learning experience occurs. Dr. Shors has shown that the new cells respond to training on tasks that require effortful learning of mental and physical skills. Dr. Shors and Exercise Scientist Dr. Brandon Alderman are translating these neuroscientific data from laboratory stud
