Reference library
Neocortical neurogenesis in humans is restricted to development.
Paper summary
Carbon dating of neuronal DNA and labeling evidence indicate little or no detectable postnatal neuron generation in the sampled human neocortex. The paper contrasts developmental neuron production with adult persistence.
Relevance to the project
A counterbalance to hippocampal neurogenesis sources. Helps keep regional neuron lifespan separate from widespread synaptic and structural plasticity.
Detection limits and sampled regions qualify the broad title.
