Brain News Flash!

[Ed]

I have just finished reading an article online at <BR>www.dallasnews.com/science entitled:"New studies <BR>uncovering resilient nervous system" <BR> <BR>This is a great article and I encourage all to go <BR>check it out! <BR> <BR>It explains that neuroscience is now discovering <BR>that brain tissue, once thought fixed and non- <BR>regenerative does indeed regenerate! It is also <BR>speculated and being researched that spinal tissue <BR>may regenerate as well if properly stimulated. The <BR>implications in all of this are staggering to say <BR>the least and especially in light of the brain <BR>supercharger technology! The possibilities for <BR>longer extended brain functioning for those with <BR>Altzheimers comes to mind as well as many other <BR>possibilities but the power of connectivity and <BR>integral learning through increased capacity may <BR>be incredible. What if we discover the key to <BR>creating more brain cells and neural connections <BR>ad infinitim within our limited little craniums?! <BR> <BR>This seems a ripe subject for discussion!

A few years ago scientists were studying the brains of the canary bird species because although the general belief at the time was that an animal brain did not regenerate, it was discovered that the canary possessed a remarkable regenerative ability. Perhaps--it was thought due in some way to its song. This led to a rethinking of the whole idea that you can't grow brain cells. <BR> <BR>I appreciate your enthusiasm Ed. Get ready for more discoveries along these lines as the scientific community replaces most of our outdated thinking about our biocomputer brain/mind and and we begin to understand how unlimited we truly are. We have barely scratched the surface of what is to become the most profound frontier mankind has ever explored. The inner journey of mind.
