Transcript text: Neurogenesis continues through the remainder of the prenatal period but is largely complete by the end of the month after conception.
Multiple Choice
seventh

fourth
sixth
Solution
The answer is the first one: seventh.
Explanation for each option:
Seventh: This is the correct answer. Neurogenesis, the process of generating new neurons, continues throughout the prenatal period but is largely complete by the end of the seventh month after conception. This is when the majority of neurons have been formed, although some neurogenesis continues in certain brain regions even after birth.
Fifth: This option is incorrect. While significant neurogenesis occurs by the fifth month, it is not largely complete until later in the prenatal period.
Fourth: This option is incorrect. By the fourth month, neurogenesis is still actively occurring and is not near completion.
Sixth: This option is incorrect. Although neurogenesis is well underway by the sixth month, it is not largely complete until the seventh month.
In summary, neurogenesis is largely complete by the end of the seventh month after conception.
