    • Abstract:
      The article explores the discovery that neurogenesis in some animals did worse on some memory tasks after their neuron birth rates had been increased, which was concluded by neuroscientist Paul Frankland of the Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto, Canada. Topics discussed include how the finding contradicts previous discovery that a boost in neurogenesis helps humans learn new information about places and events and the healthy aspects of the process of forgetting.
