text: “Newborn” neurons at 8 weeks old and older neurons are generally at the same level of maturation (Deshpande et al., 2013); As few as ten ~1-hour sessions of cognitive training over 5 or 6 weeks have the potential to reverse the same amount of age-related decline that has been observed in the same time period (Ball et al., 2002); Physical activity and good physical fitness can prevent or slow the normal age-related neuronal death and damage to the hippocampus, and even increase the volume of the hippocampus (Niemann et al., 2014); Intermittent fasting can promote adaptive responses in synapses (Vasconcelos et al., 2014); Chronic insomnia is associated with atrophy (neuronal death and damage) in the hippocampus, while adequate sleep may enhance neurogenesis (Joo et al., 2014).
