What is the creation of new neurons?
Neurogenesis
What is involved in neurogenesis?
Neurogenesis is a pre-natal process where neurons are created from the combination of the neural stem cells and the progenitor cells in a woman's womb.
Where does neurogenesis take place?
Neurogenesis primarily occurs in the hippocampus, a region of the brain involved in memory and learning. It can also occur in the olfactory bulb and striatum, but to a lesser extent.
What best defines neurogenesis?
The Development of new neurons after birth
How might neurogenesis be related to learning and memory?
Neurogenesis, the process of generating new neurons in the brain, has been found to play a role in learning and memory. New neurons can integrate into existing brain circuits and enhance synaptic plasticity, which is essential for learning and memory formation. Studies have shown that promoting neurogenesis can improve cognitive functions and enhance memory abilities.
By forming thousands of new neurons each day monkey brains illustrate?

Are adult brains capable of neurogenesis?
Yes, neurogenesis has been discribed in the sub granular zone of the dentate gryus of the adult hippocampus. It has also been shown in subventricular zone, neurons here grow through the rostral migratory stream into the olfactory bulb.
Can damaged nerve cells be replaced?
Yes, modern neuroscience research has confirmed the existence of neurogenesis, even in the adult brain.
What factors limit neurogenesis?
Inhibitory influences from neuroglia, mainly from oligodendrites and the absence of growth stimulating cues present during fetal development
Will their really be a zombie apocalypse someday?
There is no way to determine if there will really be a zombie apocalypse someday. Zombies do not exist but there is always a possibility due to brain parasites, neurotoxins, the rage virus, and neurogenesis.
