Neurogenesis occurs in the brain during the process of learning
Extensive neuroscience literature confirms that adult neurogenesis, particularly in the hippocampus, is closely linked to and supports learning and memory processes.
The retrieved papers consistently state that adult neurogenesis in the hippocampus is fundamental for learning and memory. Multiple papers affirm the connection between learning/memory processes and the generation of new neurons in the adult brain. There are no papers refuting this claim.
