Neurogenesis and Plasticity of Adult Brain: An Insight Into Effects of Cognition on Neuronal Network

Background *In the race to unveil the secrets of the human mind, a pursuit dating back over two millennia, it had become evident in recent years that neither the structure nor the function of the brain is consistent throughout the adult mammalian life. This quality of the brain to yield and remap in order to better adapt to the demands of the environment and physical as well as mental activity has been subject to extensive scientific enquiry over the past few decades. Methods *Students from KIMS (Konaseema Institute of Medical Sciences, Amalapuram) and acquaintances have willingly participated in the investigation of phantom pain among other trails. Mass surveys were conducted with a sample size ≥ 200, data from polls conducted by reliable sources have also been procured to aid in research. Results *Neurogenesis, primarily observed in subventricular zone, occurs as a result of exercise and implication of hormones. Experimental data from trials conducted on aged mice has been procured to attest the claims. To contextualize the preliminary findings thus far, cognition enhances mental health and also promotes neurogenesis. Active participation in intellectual and physical activity helps mitigate the aftermath of neurodegenerative disorders, contributing to both prevention and rehabilitation. Conclusion *This study aims to encourage further research into effective treatments for neurodegenerative diseases and advancements in neurorehabilitation
