This study is tracking the brain cells production over the course of a typical human lifetime. Boldrini and her colleagues studied 28 brains that came from the corpses of healthy people ages 17 to 49. Researchers believed that the aging brain stops making cells. Recent research has showed that aging brains produce just as many new cells as younger brains do. Dr. Maura Boldrini stated that “when I went to medical school, they used to teach us that the brain stops making new cells” who is a neurobiologist at Columbia University. Some factors that were included in this study was that people were shocked to find that the aging brain could still create newer cells. They thought that when the brain ages old people in particular start
