The textbook suggests that neurogenesis is especially evident in certain brain areas and that it is important for learning and creating new memories. Based on this information and on your knowledge of brain structures, one brain structure where neurogenesis may be especially pronounced is the: a. amygdala. b. hypothalamus. c. hippocampus. d. basal ganglia.

Hippocampus

Explanation: The Hippocampus is located in the temporal lobe and is important in learning and storing memory. Studies in rats show that lesions in this part of the brain affect memory processing and learning. This part of the brain is also responsible for connecting a specific memory to other existing memories.

Neurogenesis is the creation of new neurons in parts of the brain. It occurs in embryos and throughout a human’s lifespan and is especially  evident in the Hippocampus.
