Neurogenesis in Adulthood: Are New Neurons Born in the Brain?
Understanding Neurogenesis Neurogenesis, the process of generating new neurons from neural stem cells, has long been a subject of interest in neuroscience. Traditionally, it was believed that the formation of new neurons ceases after early childhood. However, new research indicates that this process may continue into adulthood, particularly in certain brain regions such as the…

The Debate on Adult Neurogenesis: Are New Neurons Born in the Adult Human Brain?
Introduction to Adult Neurogenesis For many years, it was widely accepted that neurogenesis—the process of generating new neurons—was largely confined to early development, ceasing after childhood. However, recent studies have sparked a lively debate in the scientific community regarding whether new neurons can indeed form in the adult human brain. This article delves into the…

Neurogenesis in Adults: The Birth of New Neurons
Understanding Adult Neurogenesis For decades, it was a widely accepted belief in the scientific community that humans are born with a finite number of neurons, which peak in childhood and gradually decline with age. This perspective suggested that neurogenesis, the process of generating new neurons, ceases at a young age, leaving adults with little capacity…
