Description

Sara K. M. Jörgensen and colleagues test how running, diet, and selenium shape new neuron growth in the mouse hypothalamus in 2026 work. That brain region helps govern body energy balance, and its stem cells can birth new neurons in adults. Mice ran voluntarily for short or long spans, on normal or high-fat food.

Long running raised new neuron growth on normal food, while short running rescued growth that high-fat food had suppressed in one niche. The rescue faded with long running, a region-specific twist unlike the memory center pattern. Selenium copied the short-run effect and woke stem cells, which hints it acts like an exercise signal here.
