Hippocampal Volume Neurogenesis

Meaning

Hippocampal Volume Neurogenesis refers to the clinical objective of stimulating the formation of new neurons (neurogenesis) specifically within the hippocampus, a brain region critical for memory consolidation, learning, and emotional regulation. Reduced hippocampal volume is a common finding in chronic stress, depression, and neurodegenerative conditions, often linked to sustained cortisol exposure. Promoting neurogenesis is a key strategy in cognitive longevity and mental health protocols, aiming to physically restore brain structure and functional plasticity. The focus is on enhancing the brain’s intrinsic repair and growth mechanisms to improve cognitive reserve.
