Guest guest Posted January 27, 2006 Report Share Posted January 27, 2006 Because the topic of Neurogenesis is bigger in mainstream Science...especially regarding Neurodegenerative diseases...more is being learned about what contributes to Neurogenesis...even dietary things such as Blueberries, for instance. A site I have not checked lately, but which has alot of research on this topic is: huntingtonslighthouse If anyone is motivated to regenerate their neurons, it would be Huntington's patients! This is why I found it...and that a study of persons with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, found the Huntington's protein over-expressed...whatever that means. I even saw some promising discoveries about Alzheimers on that site, before it made any major press.
