Continuous and delayed neurogenesis

A cognate property of this continuous production throughout life is the repair of damaged parts of the neurone axonal and or dendritic re-growth readily occurs, an ability retained even by higher primates (Graziadei et al., 1980). Such a regenerational capacity is probably due to the peripheral site of the cell body, since those within the CNS mostly lack this property.
