Electrical Stimulation of Brain Boosts Birth of New Cells

ScienceDaily (Sep. 22, 2011) — Stimulating a
specific region of the brain leads to the production of new brain cells that
enhance memory, according to an animal study in the September 21 issue of
The Journal of Neuroscience. The findings show how deep brain
stimulation (DBS) — a clinical intervention that delivers electrical pulses to
targeted areas of the brain — may work to improve cognition. Read more.
