Question

multiple choice question
during adulthood, new neurons continue to be created in certain areas of the brain in a process referred to as

○ neurogenesis.

○ lateralization.

○ optogenetics.

○ biofeedback.

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Neurogenesis is the process of generating new neurons, which matches the description of new neurons being created in the adult brain.
• Lateralization refers to the specialization of brain hemispheres, not neuron creation.
• Optogenetics is about controlling neurons with light, not creating them.
• Biofeedback involves using feedback to control physiological processes, not neuron generation.

Answer:

A. neurogenesis
