As an adult neurogenesis researcher, I ask why would you wish they would stop? If the truth is somewhere in the middle, having more people working on it, more data gathered, more points of view can only help. That’s not noise, that’s the only way a scientific consensus is formed

I don't want *journals* to stop. I want popsci-level pubs (esp. in ones that aren't just science-oriented) to stop the play-by-play reporting of *latest* results. Those fail to incorporate how non-scientists consume information in those contexts.

So, I work squarely within this field. Here’s the rub: the hippocampal adult germinal zone (as with all adult stem cell niches) declines in productivity with age. The reversibility of this phenomenon and impact on cognition are areas of intense inquiry. 1/2

But the vast majority of labs who study adult neurogenesis in humans have observed it throughout adulthood. It was irresponsible for Nature to publish Arturo’s heterodoxic paper given that the claim was made by a single IHC marker. 2/2
