For over 50 years the dogma exist that brain cells cannot regenerate. Considering the fact that every day many brain cells perish, this is not a pleasant idea. In 1998, the Swedish scientist Thomas Björk Eriksson of the University of Gothenburg verified the formation (regeneration) of new nerve cells in adults (hood) for the first time. Especially in the hippocampus (region) area, this effect could be demonstrated. Elizabeth Gould explored the influence of stress on the brain cells and the possible mechanisms for the formation of new cells.
Currently, American scientists verified the effect of Curcuma longa on neurogenesis in the hippocampus area in animals. Curcuma longa or curcumin may thus attenuate (mitigate) the degradation of nerve cells in the hippocampus area (region) caused by stress and stimulate the formation of new neurons. This effect of curcuma could also apply to other brain regions (areas). Especially in the Hippo Camus region (,the brain area for emotions (Gefuehlsbildung) can positively affect curcumin depression and counteract stress. This could also be a therapeutic approach for burnout. Burnout is just a connection between stress and thereby triggered depressive mood.
