Introduction
Neurogenesis, the process by which new neurons are generated in the adult brain, has long been considered to be limited to the development stages of the brain. However, recent research has shown that neurogenesis also occurs in specific regions of the adult brain, particularly in the hippocampus and the subventricular zone. Understanding the mechanisms that regulate neurogenesis in the adult brain is crucial for developing potential therapeutic strategies for neurodegenerative diseases and cognitive disorders.

Thesis Overview: Mechanisms of Neurogenesis in the Adult Brain
Neurogenesis in the adult brain has been a topic of increasing interest in the field of neuroscience. This thesis aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the mechanisms that regulate neurogenesis in the adult brain, with a focus on the hippocampus and the subventricular zone. The literature review will cover the historical background, molecular mechanisms, environmental regulation, and functional significance of adult neurogenesis. The research methodology section will outline the design, data collection methods, and analysis techniques used in the study. The discussion of findings will present the key results of the study and their implications for future research. The conclusion will summarize the main findings and suggest directions for further investigation in the field of adult neurogenesis.
