Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Studies have shown that neurogenesis, or the formation of new neurons, can occur in the adult brain, particularly in the hippocampus region. Additionally, dendrites, the branch-like extensions of neurons that receive signals from other neurons, can continue to grow and change throughout life in response to new experiences, a process known as dendritic plasticity.
