I appreciate the suggestion, but how am I supposed to do that?

Adult neurogenesis in rats was my thesis focus, so it's interesting that all the rat work we did may or may not translate over to humans.
I'm gonna wait for the replication, as always. But what about all that exercise-induced BDNF-mediated neurogenesis stuff? Was that only observed in mouse models?

Neurogenesis in the hippocampus and olfactory bulbs is ongoing trough the lifespan. I am presuming this is not about that neurogenesis.
> A small number of papers had indicated that humans also possessed this capability, specifically in an interior region of the brain known as the hippocampus, which is associated with memory.
> A team from UC San Francisco had hoped to see evidence of this neurogenesis in action.
> Team members examined brain tissue samples collected from 59 human subjects who ranged in age from a 14-week-old fetus to a 77-year-old man. But they couldn't find what they were looking for.
Absolute pitch is something that supposedly can only be learned before the age of 6 but the drug Valproate seems to reopen this window. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3848041/

I learned it as a teenager and lost it in my 20s. Like anything I learned it through practice and familiarity. Once I stopped working in music production I slowly lost my absolute pitch too. Similar to the way I used to be able to speak French but now can only string a few words together.
I've been with my (German) girlfriend for about a year now, and have visited her family in Germany a couple of times. It has really made me realize how much of my ability to put together a sentence in German has simply vanished over the last 15-16 years. I'm boning up using Duolingo now, because I really want to be able to have a full conversation with her (not very English speaking) family.
