Neurogenesis, the process of generating new neurons, does occur in humans in adulthood, particularly in the hippocampus region of the brain. Studies suggest that this process may protect the brain from the effects of stress, and exercise has been shown to enhance neurogenesis. However, there is no evidence to suggest that it is limited to telomeres or negatively correlated with physical activity levels.
