- Growing interest in adult neurogenesis as a target for intervention, evidenced by 38 registered clinical trials.
- Strong evidence links adult neurogenesis to hippocampal function and broader brain functions in health and disease.
- Key research questions include the identity of stem cells, the neurogenic niche, functionality beyond the hippocampus, and evolutionary and computational theories.
- Potential applications include neurogenic neural networks for artificial intelligence.
