It is now found that neurons can continue to grow and new neurons form to repair damage in the cortex and hippocampus of monkeys and rats.This process is called
A) autogenesis.
B) neural pruning.
C) cytoplasticity.
D) neurogenesis.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Neurogenesis refers to the formation of new neurons in the brain. This process has been found to occur in the cortex and hippocampus of monkeys and rats, where damage can be repaired through the formation of new neurons. Autogenesis, neural pruning, and cytoplasticity are all terms associated with different aspects of neuronal development and function, but they do not specifically refer to the formation of new neurons in damaged areas of the brain.
