Reduced Adult Neurogenesis in Humans Results From a Tradeoff Rather Than Direct Negative Selection
BioEssays, Volume 47, Issue 9, September 2025.Embryonic radial glia (RG) generate neurons, glial cells, and later adult neural stem cells, which sustain adult neurogenesis (top, left to right). Human‐specific genetic modifications (blue arrow), selected to boost early RG neurogenic activity, may lead to premature RG exhaustion and reduced adult neurogenesis in the human brain (bottom).
