Testosterone promotes the survival of neurons in the brain Preclinical experiments have shown that the hormone affects the survival of new nerve cells in the brain of rats. Scientists have found that neurogenesis occurs in the hippocampus, which is important for learning and memory. The discovery may make hormonal therapy a new treatment and prevention option for neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease.
