“…This fascinating process, in adult organisms, recapitulates the whole neural development from neural progenitor to fate determination passing through differentiation, migration, axonal, and dendritic development of newborn neurons, as well as synapses formation and functional integration into the existing neural circuitries (Duan et al., ; Sun et al., ). All these processes occur in animals with a complex nervous system that exhibit a range of sophisticated behaviors such as mammals (Kempermann et al., ; Gage et al., ; Gould et al., ; Amrein et al., ; Lepousez et al., ), humans included (Eriksson et al., ; Bergmann et al., ), nonmammals vertebrates (Alvarez‐Buylla et al., ; Marchioro et al., ; Zupanc et al., ; Kaslin et al., ; Simmons et al., ), and insects and crustaceans (Cayre et al., ; Dufour and Gadenne, ; Schmidt and Derby, ; Fernández‐Hernández et al., ; Benton et al., ; Kim et al., ). Mammals and invertebrates show that their adult neurogenesis is not widespread throughout the brain, but it is restricted to specific neural areas, that is, the multimodal associative centers considered the anatomical and functional substrate of the higher cognitive capabilities (Kempermann, ).…”
