I have to say that I didn't need this evidence, but I'll take it.

I thought we stopped growing new neurons after age 12. This study was done perhaps on maturing rats? Either that or I am in big trouble when exams come up.

nah, new neurons still appear, Eideteker. but the proliferative zone is mainly in the dentate gyrus of the hippocampus.
