my Scary Mind…being the ‘exception to the rule’

ยต - small

'Nerve cells Do Not Renew themselves'

They do not divide at all. There are very few exceptions to this rule – only two special places in the brain can give birth to new neurons. For the most part though, the brain cannot replenish dead neurons.”

So, as usual, I need some help please. Learning every day. Moving forward.

A Rather Boring Human who is constantly asking. Again + again. Until I comprehend. Because my reading is still at 6.

From a meeting approximatly 2 years back, My Astounding Surgeon, Mr W, appeared to feel that something in my brain that doesn’t always work, is now working in mine. Hence interesting speaking / comprehension [in my own fashion] walking / reading [again, at a different way but also STILL recovering] and creative art.

Art + Reading. My nemesis; the long-standing rival; an arch-enemy: I.e.: “a downfall caused by an inescapable agent: one risks nemesis by uttering such words” - you are too slow Sandhy…you are no longer artistic...you curse with rage. Tut tut.

I understand [again, I think so] that ‘the brain cannot replenish dead neurons’ - but what I understood was that some piece of my brain is one of those ‘exceptions to the rule’. Hence after even 9 years I am still recovering.

I cannot comprehend this:

Is it a NEW part of my brain that has started to work, unaided simply because it is determined? And - where IS it?

Is the correct word ‘neurons’? So what ARE those? Are they sort of working like electricity? Putting things in new places; almost an impossibly thing to actually ‘see’?

Why don't scientists and daktari's want to know HOW to make that start on everyone?


Learning...

One other thing moving inside my brain from trying to read - neurogenesis.

“In the human, adult neurogenesis has been shown to occur at low levels compared with development, and in only three regions of the brain: the adult subventricular zone [SVZ] of the lateral ventricles, the amygdala and the dentate gyrus of the hippocampus.”

The hippocampus was ‘named’ in Latin as the Seahorse. And the information about the hippocampus is a little disturbing.

But my brain is grasping at the Sub-ventricular zone. “The C cells then produce neuroblasts, or A cells, that will become neurons.”

So - do some people's brains begin to produce neuroblasts after relearning after battling a subarachnoid haemorrhage?

Therefore, which part of my brain is redeveloping? When it seems that it is unusual to be able to keep on relearning. 1 in 59. Death or destruction. Or life with instruction.

Asking and asking. Watching “A.I” - Artificial Intelligence - follow the leader? Or keep trying to use you OWN brain?

One of the most astounding thing is that asking anyone about this is hard. Easier to speak about having aphasia / having an ‘invisible disordered after-effect’ upon my brain.

Therefore this is going mainly to my Bodhi - the term Buddha literally means enlightenment one, a knower - because many cannot take the time to understand and then explain. Or find out, simply to help another. Another Human who has helped me so much - but now I am moving - and spreading the Moving Tribe North and south. Speaking for all.

9 years still rewiring and only the last 2 have been remotely more relevant. Onward + Upward!
