Moderate drinking stumps brain cell production

A couple of glasses of wine daily may be a good way to promote cardiovascular and brain health, but it also comes with a hidden risk — lowering brain cell production by 40 percent, new research says.

Scientists convert specific brain cells to neurons

Researchers have discovered a way to generate new human neurons from another type of adult cell found in our brains, a find which could aid treatment of neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's
