I don't have the training to judge any of these adult neurogenesis stories and I wish they would stop. I love popular science and #scicomm but constantly reporting the *latest* results doesn't communicate the *state* of knowledge.
It just makes science look like noise.https://twitter.com/guardian/status/981936880676671488 …

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
