- A All regions of the adult brain equally, with little regional specificity
- B Subventricular zone (SVZ) and subgranular zone of hippocampal dentate gyrus
- C Mainly within the granule cell layer of the cerebellum
- D Mainly within nuclei located in the brainstem
Correct answer: B. Subventricular zone (SVZ) and subgranular zone of hippocampal dentate gyrus
Explanation: Adult neurogenesis: new neurons continuously produced from neural stem cells in SVZ (migrating to olfactory bulb) and SGZ of hippocampal dentate gyrus. Functional significance in learning and memory.
Concept context
Brain, spinal cord, neurons, reflex arcs, and sense organs.
