Herculano - Houzel hopes that the results of the study and the questions it raises will stimulate other neuroscientists to begin exploring the mysteries of the avian brain, especially how their behavior compares to that of mammals of
similar numbers of neurons or brain size.

«If function is localized, with small
numbers of neurons bunched together doing
similar things, that's consistent with sparse coding, high selectivity, and low population spiking rates.
They found
similar numbers of new
neurons throughout the hippocampus, as well as comparable
numbers of glial cells, regardless
of the age
of the person the sample had come from.
The
number of mature
neurons (NeuN +) was at their highest in the 3 - NP - iPSC - 7 rats, which were
similar to the sham mice, with 3 - NP and NP - iPSC - 42 rats having significantly fewer mature
neurons than the sham rats.
Overall, the study found, older and younger brains had
similar numbers of «intermediate» progenitor cells and «immature»
neurons — signaling that older people had a
similar capacity for generating new cells as young people.
