Abstract

Genesis of the neurons in the brain is a cardinal process for brain development from the embryonic stage to throughout the human lifespan. Two major zones of the brain that are involved in neurogenesis are the subventricular (forebrain) and sub-granular zone (dentate granule cell layer). Additionally, the Hypothalamus is another region, that, acts as a smart control synchronizing center of the human body and a source of neural progenitor cells. This book chapter describes and illustrates the elements of neurogenesis, neurogenesis on mental health, hippocampal neurogenesis, and hypothalamic neurogenesis.
