Until recently, most neuroscientists thought we were born with all the neurons
we were ever going to have. As children we might produce some new neurons
to help build the pathways – called neural circuits – that act as information
highways between different areas of the brain. But scientists believed that
once a neural circuit was in place, adding any new neurons would disrupt
the flow of information and disable the brain’s communication system.
