(New neurons) singing in the avian brain

During the first half of the twentieth century, the scientific community widely rejected the notion of neuronal regeneration in the adult CNS. Indeed, the first report of continuous neurogenesis in the mammalian brain by Joseph Altman in 1963 was initially received with skepticism by some researchers. However, these discoveries were subsequently supported by numerous studies performed by independent laboratories in which evidence was collected from more than 120 animal species, including humans. The discoveries made by Goldman and Nottebohm in 1983 were the first to demonstrate the continuous addition of new neurons to the adult avian brain.
