The process of neurogenesis occurs when:
A)the developing fetus produces millions of new neurons in the three months before birth.
B)the injection of stem cells leads to the regeneration of a myelin sheath surrounding the neuron.
C)precursor cells give birth to new neurons when immersed in a growth-promoting protein.
D)stress increases the production of new cells in order to facilitate adaptation to the stressor.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Neurogenesis occurs when precursor cells give birth to new neurons when immersed in a growth-promoting protein such as brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF). This usually occurs in the hippocampus region of the brain, which is associated with learning and memory.
