      Just to point out. This article theorizes neurogenesis in the hippocampus MAY be possible in humans because it’s been supported to occur in rats.

      This is exactly what I said. It’s theorized to occur in humans in a very specific area of the hippocampus (not in cortical regions or any other area of the brain,). It’s not supported with evidence to occur. It’s only theorized to occur.

      This article is more specifically talking about the research on exercise and hippocampus neurogenesis in rats. Which showed a positive correlation.
