"when" functioning as a relative pronoun in a relative clause can only take the subject of the sentence?
like in this example
Recently documented examples of neurogenesis, the production of new brain cells, include the brain growing in mice when placed in a stimulating environment or neurons increasing in canaries that learn new songs
here when cannot refer to mice, because it's not the subject, I heard that in a manhattan video but "that" can remove the ambiguity, why is that?
both "that" and "when" are relative pronouns and both are attached to "in mice" then why is it that "that" can refer to mice but not "when"?

neurons increasing in canaries that learn new songs
I dont know if i have perceived your point correctly or not, but the "that" is a restrictive clause here, i.e, that is restricting the canaries to only a specific sub set "those learn new songs"
In GMAT English, when as a relative pronoun basically refers back to a time-frame, not any object. so, preferably use "that" to correctly track back mice.
SajjadAhmad, could you please help us understand the difference correctly?

This is not a complete sentence is rather a fragment.
Recently documented examples of neurogenesis=> Giving additional information about the subject.
the production=> Subject
of new brain cells=> Describing subject further.
Recently documented examples of neurogenesis, the production of new brain cells, include the brain growing in mice when placed in a stimulating environment or neurons increasing in canaries that learn new songs.
Use of that in place of when will change the meaning of the subject.
My grammar is not good
AjiteshArun please clear us on this above issue.
Thanks
