Thanks for sharing anon!
The real hurdle will be to show this works in the human brain. Neurogenesis thru out the life is common in most mammals, but In humans replenishing of neurons may be uniquely absence. Why? Because new brains cell could disrupt circuits in the cortex required for accessing long term memory, for example.
Contrary to popular belief, new brain cells are not necessarily a good thing in humans. For example, autism is characterized by large brain size with too many neurons because the child did complete the natural pruning process (massive cell loss) during development.
On the other hand, getting new dopamine cells to form in the substantial nigra of those afflicted with Parkinson’s disease could be a huge breakthrough.
