| Topic | Do brains have a hard limit to how long they can survive? |
| ssjevot 10/07/25 8:12:55 AM #32: | PurestProdigy posted... Neurogenesis is a thing, but to my understanding it is on such a small scale that it is basically irrelevant. This covers it pretty well, but basically it's essentially none to a small enough amount that it doesn't matter. I mentioned it in my first post because people always bring it up, but it's really not relevant to the issue which is why you see people at age 100 with on average 65% of the grey matter volume they had at their peak. Whatever amount is happening is so small that it can't offset the massive amount of loss in comparison (it's also primarily localized to the hippocampus, not helpful for major neurodegenrative diseases that occur elsewhere or just the practical distributed loss of neurons over time). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adult_neurogenesis --- Favorite Games: BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Street Fighter III: Third Strike, Bayonetta, Bloodborne thats a username you habe - chuckyhacksss ...
