Solution

In the mature brain, new neurons are normally produced in only a few locations. This process is known as neurogenesis. While it was once believed that adults could not grow new neurons, research has shown that neurogenesis can occur in certain parts of the brain, such as the hippocampus, which is involved in learning and memory. However, the rate of neurogenesis can be influenced by factors such as stress, aging, and neurological diseases.

The four sentences (labelled 1, 2, 3, 4) below, when properly sequenced would yield a coherent paragraph. Decide on the proper sequencing of the order of the sentences and key in the sequence of the four numbers as your answer:1. In the central nervous systems of other animal species, such a comprehensive regeneration of neurons has not yet been proven beyond doubt.2. Biologists from the University of Bayreuth have discovered a uniquely rapid form of regeneration in injured neurons and their function in the central nervous system of zebrafish.3. They studied the Mauthner cells, which are solely responsible for the escape behaviour of the fish, and previously regarded as incapable of regeneration.4. However, their ability to regenerate crucially depends on the location of the injury.
