  • The process by which newly generated neurons in normal development are incorporated into the granular cell layer is well established and involves expression of specific markers and development of defined neuronal morphology.

    “The process by which newly generated neurons in normal development are incorporated into the granular cell layer is well established and involves expression of specific markers and development of defined neuronal morphology24,26,34,35.”

    From Therapeutically viable generation of neurons with antisense oligonucleotide suppression of PTB (2021) · cites this paper as [24]

    The Development of Neural Stem Cells in the Adult Brain section (page unavailable) describes immature neurons migrating into the dentate granule cell layer, extending dendrites and axons, and following a stereotyped course of integration. It also mentions developmental marker expression, but primarily describes adult neurogenesis; it does not establish the claimed marker-defined process for normal development generally. (LLM, conf=0.82)

    Experimental — accuracy not yet measured
  • The dentate gyrus of the hippocampus is the brain region where the most active neurogenesis has been documented to take place.

    “The dentate gyrus of the hippocampus is the brain region where the most active neurogenesis has been documented to take place23–25.”

    From Therapeutically viable generation of neurons with antisense oligonucleotide suppression of PTB (2021) · cites this paper as [24]

    The Introduction (page unavailable) identifies the dentate gyrus as one of two regions where adult neurogenesis is active under normal conditions. It also identifies the subventricular zone as active and does not say that neurogenesis is most active in the dentate gyrus. (LLM, conf=0.88)

    Experimental — accuracy not yet measured
  • Adult neurogenesis from neural stem cells deriving from the subventricular zone and the subgranular zone of the hippocampal dentate gyrus can give rise to neurons, oligodendrocytes and astrocytes.

    “There is evidence of neurogenesis from adult neural stem cells deriving from the subventricular zone (SVZ) and the subgranular zone (SGZ) of the hippocampal dentate gyrus, that can give rise to neurons, oligodendrocytes and astrocytes [107,108].”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
