Michael Kaplan (biologist)
Michael S. Kaplan (born January 3, 1952) is an American biology researcher, medical professor, and clinical physician. A pioneer of neurogenesis research, his work was the first to refute the classic idea that no new nerve cells are born in the adult mammalian brain. His research demonstrated the first indications that neurogenesis occurs in the brain of adult mammals using light and electron microscopy, but was curtailed by this prevailing dogma within the scientific community at the time. Why this went unrecognized is described in a personal account published in Trends in Neurosciences.
