Rockefeller and Jay Gould were just misunderstood capitalists. JACK MORROW Long Beach, Calif...
...person's first few years ? and then spends the rest of life deteriorating. Since the mid-'80s, scientists have been aware of new brain cell growth after the formative years, but have debated whether or not the new growth affects advanced functions such as memory. Now researchers Elizabeth Gould and Charles Gross, in an article in Friday's edition of the journal Science, report that testing in monkeys shows the growth of new neurons that attached themselves to the cerebral cortex ? the epicenter of advanced brain activity...
...understand better how it works, maybe we could use that to direct the regeneration and repopulation of neurons in damaged areas of the brain," Gould told the Associated Press, indicating the findings could help future scientists slow or reverse the effects of aging and brain diseases. While it is not known what function the new cells serve, one theory builds on research done by Rockefeller University's Fernando Nottebohm, who found evidence that the brain generates new cells to record events into memory, as opposed to the long-held belief that memories are formed solely through connections of existing neurons...
