P.421 right column 2nd paragraph: "[Investigators'] findings are consistent with the data that the total number of neural cells in the human brain increases from ∼13×10^9 at 20 weeks of intrauterine life to 19–23×10^9 in the adult brain (primary source), indicating persistence of neurogenesis beyond 20 gw (gestational weeks)." |
