Are there any studies showing that brain cells can regenerate or be made even when you are an adult?

>However, the developing brain exhibits a higher degree of plasticity than the adult brain.

Always taught as a kid regrowing brain cells is impossible but recently they started saying it actually is possible. What's probably true is that some type of brain cells are possible to regenerate while most others aren't.

>Within the last four decades, our view of the mature vertebrate brain has changed significantly. Today it is generally accepted that the adult brain is far from being fixed. A number of factors such as stress, adrenal and gonadal hormones, neurotransmitters, growth factors, certain drugs, environmental stimulation, learning, and aging change neuronal structures and functions. The processes that these factors may induce are morphological alterations in brain areas, changes in neuron morphology, network alterations including changes in neuronal connectivity, the generation of new neurons (neurogenesis), and neurobiochemical changes. Here we review several aspects of neuroplasticity and discuss the functional implications of the neuroplastic capacities of the adult and differentiated brain with reference to the history of their discovery.

Adults can grow new neurons BUT the growth is significantly reduced as we age.

>Adult neurogenesis is the process in which neurons are generated from neural stem cells in the adult.

>Neurogenesis is substantially reduced in the hippocampus of aged animals, raising the possibility that it may be linked to age-related declines in hippocampal function.
