Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Recent research indicates that physical exercise can stimulate the generation of new brain cells, a process known as neurogenesis. Selective attention can also enhance neural plasticity, but it is not directly associated with neurogenesis. REM sleep plays a role in consolidating memories, but there is limited evidence to suggest it directly generates new brain cells. A restricted diet may have positive effects on brain health, but there is no strong evidence to suggest it directly affects neurogenesis.
