While the process via which different types of neurons are produced, also known as neurogenesis, has been the focus of numerous neuroscience studies, its genetic and biological underpinnings in humans have not yet been fully elucidated. This is also true for immature neurons arising from adult hippocampal neurogenesis, known as immature dentate granule cells (imGCs), which support the brain’s adaptation in response to experiences throughout adulthood.
