Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Neurogenesis occurs seasonally in songbird brains, with new neurons being produced during breeding season to aid in learning and performing songs. Although neurogenesis does occur in the brains of humans and other mammals, it is limited and primarily occurs in specific regions such as the hippocampus. There is some evidence that neurogenesis may contribute to memory formation in certain species, such as the sea slug Aplysia, but this is not a widely established phenomenon.
