Neurogenesis has always been about the hippocampus in humans. It's been lightly suggested it might happen in the olfactory bulb (as in other animals) but not very seriously. When neuroscientists talk about human neurogenesis in adulthood it is always about the hippocampal formation and the dentate gyrus.
For an up to date review/link-set of neurogenesis in humans as compared to other mammals check out the summary write-up over at http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/neuroskeptic/2019/01/30/new-look-neurogenesis-humans/ http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/neuroskeptic/2019/01/30/ne... which makes the case that human neurogenesis isn't found in adulthood because of relative lifespan differences.
