  Don't slight the birdbrain
Zebra finches lack this seasonal cycle; their brains generate a constant yet tiny trickle of new neurons.
This more limited ability resembles that of mammals, where scientists now agree that multipotent precursors line the brain's inner ventricles, but only two specific types of neurons, one in the olfactory bulb and one in the hippocampus, are known to regrow at low levels.
To find out whether the answer lay in the precursors themselves or in the brain environment they encounter, they tested the notion that it is the death of certain neurons that fosters the ingrowth and differentiation of precursors.

 Pattern of life
And the stripes on a zebra or a tiger are patterns of a sort.
And it was not until five years later that good evidence was found of the process happening in nature -- in the striped body of the angelfish.
But it is widely believed that, during the growth of embryos of patterned animals like the zebra, molecules called morphogens diffuse and react under the skin to generate the markings.
