The Adult Brain Does Grow New Neurons After All, Study Says

Posted by msmash on Monday March 25, 2019 @07:29AM from the closer-look dept.

A new study points toward lifelong neuron formation in the human brain's hippocampus, with implications for memory and disease. From a report: For decades, scientists have debated whether the birth of new neurons -- called neurogenesis -- was possible in an area of the brain that is responsible for learning, memory and mood regulation. A growing body of research suggested they could, but then a Nature paper last year raised doubts. Now, a new study published today in another of the Nature family of journals -- Nature Medicine -- tips the balance back toward "yes." In light of the new study, "I would say that there is an overwhelming case for the neurogenesis throughout life in humans," Jonas Frisen, a professor at the Karolinska Institute in Sweden, said in an e-mail. Frisen, who was not involved in the new research, wrote a News and Views about the study in the current issue of Nature Medicine.

You think that Trump is Lucky?
Good example of NOT luck, is his 'winning' presidency. He did not win it. You dems ran a HORRIBLE candidate. Nearly, 45% of the population checked off Trump, yet, right after the election, his popularity was already lower than what he won with. IOW, a number of ppl that voted for him, really did not like him. They just hated Hillary more. That is just plain STUPIDITY on the dems part for pushing political correctness over who is the best choice.
Right now, you dems are pushing women, with nearly all being far left extremists that do not care about fiscal issues. Anybody that is backing the GND is just plain idiots. We need to improve our nation, but the many idiots over in the dems are making it easy for the GOP to have ppl like reagan, W, and Trump in office. A bunch of crooks. Not luck.

Don't trust the JEWS. They will steal your money and lend it back to you at high interest.

Finally you made. I was wondering when our leader would come.
