In a study in mice, scientists cultured stem cells from the brains of adult mice and then added quercetin or 2-hydroxybenzoic acid, phytonutrients found in apples. 

As it turned out, the high concentration of phytonutrients in apples stimulates neurogenesis – the formation of new neurons. 

“Phytonutrients such as resveratrol and epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) may have beneficial effects on various organs, including the brain,” the study authors noted.
