A recent study[0] seems to provide meaningful evidence that while adult neurogenesis occurs in rats, rabbits and some other species, as mentioned in the research referred to by the OP, it does not actually occur in humans. I'm not claiming to know the truth on this, but I thought this research should be part of the discussion.

- SubiculumCode 9y ago:) Its kind of the point of the whole article, FYI.
- garyrob 9y agoOh wow, thank you so much for filling me in. I didn't read the whole thing because it was quoting a lot of animal studies, which I knew were questionable in light of the adult human research, and I was aware of no reason to expect the turnaround in part 2! :) You were very kind about it. Sorry for wasting everyone's time!
