Description

The idea that the adult brain of mammals can generate new neurons has only recently been accepted by the scientific community, and research in this exciting area is now in full swing. Bringing together leading researchers in the field of adult neurogenesis, the 30 chapters in this monograph provide a valuable overview of this emerging field and lay the groundwork for future studies. Adult Neurogenesis includes discussions on neural stem cell biology; methods and models for studying adult neurogenesis; physiological and molecular processes and their control; related neurological diseases; and comparisons of neurogenesis in humans, birds, fish, and invertebrates. It will be of interest to all researchers in neurobiology as well as those in the medical field, as it has implications for understanding depression, epilepsy, and other psychiatric disorders.

Point of the book: Gage understands neurogenesis, do the colleuges? Feb 12, 2010 By Keli Moy
Fred Gage's Adult Neurogenesis interestingly shows that the peers in neurogenesis who have published their work have a paltry understanding of neurogenesis.

Gage did not include which is in my opinion the top dog article 'Jumping Genes.' Some researchers a prof at UCLA contended that the brain structure of rats would change when exposed to fox urine. Sometimes the work of researchers is well below the level of the engineering equipment they use. Gage's work is worthy of the lab equipment.

I interned at a UCSF lab and saw what Feynman called selling science like it was soap. And couldn't help laughing during a meeting, the post doc was really nice so I felt bad but then I knew my career might be doomed. That's why there was that show Pinky and the Brain, the PI's wife's name is Pinky. Brain was my 1st ex boyfriend who was JP Morgan's great grandson. He was a horrible boyfriend but kind of fun because we both emulated Brainy Smurf to the highest order. At least Brainy bothered to read Papa Smurf's books.

Most studies aren't duplicated because there are too many, and it would take too long to duplicate exactly the way reports are written, some people in the same field have different definitions for things. I would have had higher grades at UC San Diego but changed my major from molecular biology to psychology, not wanting to repeat organic chemistry.

Psychology majors, everyone knows the joke is that they are the wimpy biology majors who seriously failed organic chemistry so they changed their major to psychology. I tried to take Organic chemistry in 5 weeks over the summer and the teacher focused on nomenclature, and would cover up the board with her corpulence, notes would get messy during long chemical reactions.

Seriously I was emotionally abused by my mother growing up and she used a bogus mental illness to set me up to feel socially isolated using mental illness for leverage over me.

All I have to say is I left my library copy of Adult Neurogenesis at a friend's house in Europe and it got lost, and another friend retrieved my belongings and told me, I was actually worth something as a human being. Thanks. I have had it with false friends. There was a grad student in the cog sci dept, initials A.M. I am trying to forget. All her friends were UCSD's dumb grad students. My friends were the smart grad students and yet I didn't feel worthy of being their friend. A.M. reminds me alot of my own mother who met a leading Berkely physicist at a party and talked about hiking. It went to her head to meet the physicist. She would say "take the easiest subjects, I had good grades and would forget everything. Your dad had Bs but would remember everything. I am just reminded of how the lousy time I had at UCSD was from making friends with A.M. and not some real smart people, she griped about not getting into Stanford and going to UCSD instead. Then go there clear the way for some real smart people so they can actually meet and appreciate their REAL FRIENDSHIPS, San Diego has warmer water so leave us alone. Well I don't think all grad students are equal. Will they do something about those creepy fools at Blacks Beach.

I met a PSYCHO student researcher in the Gage lab, he said Gage is real moody and tempermental. I think Gage is cool! Gage is fed up with "psychophant" [sic] I was kind of like a girl Goodwill Hunting. I even used to be a math major at UC Berkely and had to deal with the Stoople Steem social manipulator A.M. because I demoted myself to psychology major, because I could not graduate. I even heard from a former professor of philosophy at a community college in Kansas, "research is boring." He pretended to be my friend (dad's Army friend) then would make sexual invitations on me. He had an affair with a student who was 22, same age as his own daughter and would say both of us were bipolar. I am sick of that label being applied to me when real bipolars know how to deny. My mom's favorite quote, "deny deny deny." It's all about who makes the allegations first. My reasoning is considered tangential. I think that I take too long to talk and many people don't listen.

I am a happy, somewhat neurotic, smart people are allowed to be a little neurotic. Kind of in a bad mood today because I wish I knew those good friends instead of the fakers. I've been put in mental institutions over 15 times, now finally they are listening to me when I say I'm not going to answer that (were you ever diagnosed before). They like to make rapid diagnoses about me, instead of accurate diagnoses. They confuse Axis I and Axis IV of the DSM. Psychiatrists are typically the laziest people in medical school, they can do the least harm of the most incompetant medical students. Forgive me for being honest. I am also really related to one of America's top screenplay writers and I experience Jumping Gene Transposons in my daily life. Try to explain that to the laziest med student. Researchers are the doctors that doctors look up to.

My own father didn't want me to be a researcher because you only make $50,000 a year. My mom who rents apartments in San Francisco said she had a tenant, 1st year graduate who just got a job designing shoes for $100,000 a year. Mom even tried to have a patent taken out of my name, USPTO 5307764. One of my other friends who worked in biomedical engineering, I think her peers were trying to steal her research.

I've been told I was never good enough growing up. I don't have a job because I never had confidence to ask to letters of recommendation. And I saw on UCSD's Employment website transcriptionists get paid more that biochemists with advanced degrees. UCSD is going downhill because they now typically hire deliberate underachievers to do their admin work. I am tired of underachievers dominating my life, making it unpleasant to see my favorite doctor in San Francisco. In Europe they have electronic medical records.

Gage, we'll be in contact. My people will call your people and I can't say who those people are. I made friends in Europe while waiting for the bus, at the trainstation, I couch surfed mooching off a grad student for a month eating all the food in the studio apartment, making bean potstickers. I have friends who are concerned about me and they like smart people over there.
