AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the search for authoritative articles on neurogenesis in the human brain, emphasizing the need for recent and credible sources that also explore the relationship between neurogenesis and plasticity. Several articles are shared, with the user seeking expert opinions on their relevance and authority. While some participants suggest looking into developmental neurobiology textbooks and recent Annual Review publications for updated information, they note that the topic remains contentious, with conflicting studies emerging. This indicates that while neurogenesis is increasingly recognized, there is still debate within the scientific community regarding its extent and implications in humans. The conversation highlights the complexity of the subject and the importance of consulting multiple sources for a comprehensive understanding.

Hi all... I'm working on a paper and would like to reference an authoritative article that reviews or presents breakthrough data showing neurogenesis occurs in the human brain (not just animals) and perhaps also the relationship between neurogenesis and plasticity. I found a few articles that seem appropriate but would like to hear from any experts who are aware of better and/or more recent research in the area.

1) https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1664671/
2) https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S089662730800901X
3) https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2373759/pdf/nihms45130.pdf

From what little I can grasp of these, it seems like these are in order of most important to least but still all have relevance. I think...

Are any of these particularly good references indicating neurogenesis in humans?
Anything better/newer/more authoritative?

Thanks,
Dave.

I am not current on that subject, however, if you have access to a research library, who cold look over different textbooks on Developmental Neurobiology. These should have fairly recent information and references to articles.
Another source of newer information might be articles in the most recent years of the Annual Review books of relevant subjects like Neuroscience, Cell or Developmental Biology.

Thanks for the feedback BillTre, Ygggdrasil. I was under the impression neurogenesis was fairly well established now but it sounds like it might still be contentious. My understanding is that most cells in the body (all but brain neurons?) replace themselves every so often, depending on the organ.
 
Hi Laroxe, Thanks for that. I'd say that puts an end to my search for a reference.

https://www.nhs.uk/mental-health/conditions/body-dysmorphia/ Most people have some mild apprehension about their body, such as one thinks their nose is too big, hair too straight or curvy.

Thread 'Did they discover another descendant of homo erectus?'
The study provides critical new insights into the African Humid Period, a time between 14,500 and 5,000 years ago when the Sahara desert was a green savanna, rich in water bodies that facilitated human habitation and the spread of pastoralism. Later aridification turned this region into the world's largest desert. Due to the extreme aridity of the region today, DNA preservation is poor, making this pioneering ancient DNA study all the more significant. Genomic analyses reveal that the...
Whenever these opiods are mentioned they usually mention that e.g. fentanyl is "50 times stronger than heroin" and "100 times stronger than morphine". Now it's nitazene which the public is told is everything from "much stronger than heroin" and "200 times stronger than fentany"! Do these numbers make sense at all? How do they arrive at them? Kill thousands of mice? En passant: nitazene have already been found in both Oxycontin pills and in street "heroin" here, so Naloxone is more...
