one of the reasons neurogenesis slows down in adults is because of the chance of things going wrong, cancer or protein misfolds etc. hubernan did a good episode on this which i cant find, but the episode was about improving the rate of learning amd our brain. essentially he asserts that we seem to have a strong mechanism for brain growth in desperate circumstances, like hunting for food while very hungry. I will try to find and edit this comment
