Recent hot topic in neuroscience field.
I will try to explain recent hot topic in neuroscience field. But I need to explain the background first.
Neuron play a crucial role in various brain functions. Neuronal stem cells differentiate to neurons and other type of cells in brain. Neurons can not self-reproduce but neuronal stem cell can. Embryos and infants have many neuronal stem cells in their brain and neurogenesis actively occurs. Until recently, it is said that neurogenesis does not occur in adult brain. But in 1998, first neurogenesis in adult brain was observed. After that some experiments indicate neurogenesis in adult brain. So, neurogenesis in adult brain became common sense among neuroscientists.
Last month, Mexican scientist released the paper about neurogenesis in adult brain.They analyzed more number of human brain than previous report and concluded they could not observe neurogenesis in adult brain. This report gave a big impact to neuroscientists.
But in this month (so quick！), a report that contradicts to the report was released. They insist that neurogenesis persists throughout human life.
This topic is very interesting. I will keep watching :)

Very well written and informative! I, for one, had no idea about when neurogenesis stopped. I will watch your space. Thanks.
