Dynamics of hippocampal neurogenesis in adult humans.
Paper summary
Uses nuclear-bomb-derived carbon dating of DNA to estimate adult human hippocampal cell turnover. A population model supports continued neuron generation within a renewing fraction, with age-related changes.
Relevance to the project
Helps distinguish neuron birth from synapse turnover and supports keeping lifecycle policy separate from connection rewiring.
Regional turnover estimates do not apply to every neuron or brain area.
