Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Recent studies have shown that new neurons can be produced in certain regions of the adult brain, such as the hippocampus, which is important for learning and memory. However, these newly generated cells do not replace existing neurons in the central nervous system (CNS), they instead integrate into existing neuronal networks. So, while we do produce new neurons in adulthood, no new central nervous system cells are produced after infancy is false.
