Part 6 - The Connection Between Neurogenesis and Alzheimer's
September 21, 2025
Neurogenesis is the process by which new neurons are formed in the brain. This process is most active while a baby is developing in the womb and is responsible for the production of the brain’s neurons. The development of new neurons continues during adulthood in two regions of the brain. Neurogenesis takes place in the subventricular zone (SVZ) that forms the lining of the lateral ventricles and the subgranular zone that forms part of the dentate gyrus of the hippocampus area.
