Science, 1999•science.orgIn primates, prefrontal, inferior temporal, and posterior parietal cortex are important for
cognitive function. It is shown that in adult macaques, new neurons are added to these three
neocortical association areas, but not to a primary sensory area (striate cortex). The new
neurons appeared to originate in the subventricular zone and to migrate through the white
matter to the neocortex, where they extended axons. These new neurons, which are
continually added in adulthood, may play a role in the functions of association neocortex.
