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…
