Why does human hippocampal neurogenesis persist with aging while it declines in rodents and primates?
OPEN
This study contradicts established findings that adult neurogenesis declines with aging across mammalian species. The species-specific difference in aging patterns could reveal unique human brain maintenance mechanisms with implications for cognitive preservation and therapeutic targets.
