Various media outlets quoted Jason Snyder, a UBC neuroscientist, who weighed in on a study that found the adult human brain doesn’t produce any detectable new neurons in the area supposedly for neuronal creation.

“These findings are certain to stir up controversy,” he said, and underlined they would have to be confirmed by other researchers.
