His work lay dormant for several decades possibly as a result of limitations in technology or the limited perceived usefulness at the time.

A combination of improved imaging techniques, a continued shift in the public image of mental disorders, and a desire to aid those suffering from neurodegenerative disorders has led to many attempts to parse out the details of neurogenesis. After a number of studies …
