This Research Topic is the second volume in the "Insights in Neurogenesis" series. You can find Volume I here.

We are now well into the third decade of the 21st Century, and the recent achievements made by scientists have been exceptional, leading to major progress on many frontiers of Neuroscience. Frontiers has organized a series of Research Topics to highlight the latest advancements in different fields of research in order to be at the forefront of science.

This editorial initiative, led by Luca Bonfanti, Specialty Chief Editor of the Neurogenesis section, and Prof. Gerd Kempermann, is focused on new insights, novel developments, current challenges, latest discoveries, recent advances, and future perspectives in the field of neurogenesis.

The Research Topic solicits brief, forward-looking contributions from the editorial board members that describe the state of the art, outlining, recent developments and major accomplishments that have been achieved and that need to occur to move the field forward. Authors are encouraged to identify the greatest challenges in the sub-disciplines, and how to address those challenges.

The goal of this special edition Research Topic is to shed light on the progress made in the past decade in the neuroscience field and on its future challenges to provide a thorough overview of the status of the art of the neurogenesis field. This article collection will inspire, inform, and provide direction and guidance to researchers in the field.

All articles will be conceived as the development of answers to a challenging question. Hence, the title of each contribution will be in the form of a question. The list can obviously not be exclusive. There are many more open questions. But it is a start.

The authors contributing to this Research Topic have been invited by the Topic Editors to address specific questions. For which they are experts. But this does not mean that they are the only expert.

The article title must be a question concerning an important topic, or the future developments in the field; if you would like to participate with a spontaneous submission, please ensure that your contribution responds to one of the questions asked below (the list will be progressively updated). Please inquire with the editors about your idea, so that overlaps can be avoided. The editors are also happy to discuss additional ideas for questions with you and the particular case where you see the opportunity for a scientific debate.

With the intent to consolidate the Insights in Neurogenesis in 2021, we will only consider the submission of Perspective articles.

Exemplary questions are:

• What can mammals learn from adult neurogenesis in other species?
• What is the relationship between neuronal development, regeneration and plasticity?
• What makes a brain organoid a good model?
• What is the future of neurogenesis research in vitro?
• How can we use emerging technologies to study neurogenesis?

Please make sure to submit an abstract before submitting your contribution to this Research Topic. The abstract does not have to be the final abstract of your manuscript but should sketch out your idea.
