Dear doctor, You are requested to kindly recommend supplements for production of new neurons in the hippocampus of brain as that is the only center of regeneration of brain. Those supplements if cross blood brain barrier will help cure schizophrenia patients. We will be highly obliged and thankful to you.

Supplements cannot make a real difference or make neurons grow as you expect and you can try Mecobalamin .Though scientists have long known that new brain cells are able ?enhance learning? ? they never thought that ?learning? could actually cause the birth of new brain cells? that is, until recently. In recent animal studies, researchers have found that there was a direct relationship between ?learning? and the survival rate of newly-birthed brain cells. When researchers taught certain rodents a wide-variety of cognitive tasks which involved a wide-range of brain areas ? scientists found that the more the animal ?learned? ? the more new neurons were able to survive in the hippocampus. Scientists have made it clear that ?learning? can increase the presence of new neurons in the brain. Brain cells that are born in the hippocampus, which normally die off, are literally ?rescued? by ?learning? experiences. There is still plenty of research being conducted in this area and not all sources agree. However, your best bet is to keep your brain power boosted and your mind sharp. Always try to learn something new! Meditation has always thought to have been beneficial for the brain. Recent compelling evidence from scientific researchers at Yale, Harvard, and Massachusetts Institute of Technology revealed that meditation can allow us to ?grow bigger brains.? Though this isn?t the same thing as neurogenesis, meditation could very well be an activity that boosts the birth rate of neurons. Researchers also discovered that meditators literally had an altered-physical brain structure compared to non-meditators. Brain scanning technology [i.e. MRIs] showed that meditation boosted thickness of brain structure dealing with attention, sensory input, and memory functions. The thickening was found to be more noticeable in adults than younger individuals. It?s interesting because the same sections of our cortex that meditation thickens, tend to get thinner as we age.
