Thriving 'Neuron Nurseries' Have Been Found Inside The Adult Human Nose.

Our noses appear to be home to thriving 'neuron nurseries', according to new research. It's a curious finding, given recent investigations on whether our brains keep making new neurons as we become adults; some evidence points to us growing these nerve cells well into old age...

This latest study suggests the olfactory neuroepithelium in the human nose seems to carry on producing neurons in our adulthood, based on an analysis of human tissue taken from seven middle-aged human donors...

Very interesting. Thanks for sharing! Loss of smell was my earliest PD symptom, although I had no idea at the time. Perhaps restoring olfactory senses will lead to other neurological improvements...

As far as I now know, diminishing olfaction was my first manifestation. I too did not know then the pooble significance.

Diminishing olfaction was my husband's first symptom which he blamed on a broken nose and subsequent surgeries. :( However, his hyposmia has significantly improved and smells supper I bake, coffee, essential oils, etc. Not 100% but still he is very happy! Don't know where to attribute the improvement, B1, Mannitol, what? Oh well, whatever it is, it's more than welcome! :)

Do symptoms improvement means that some neurons are restored?? One million dollar question!

My guess is that it's the Mannitol, but it's just a guess. In any case, congratulations on the success!

Thank you! However my second para question is still unanswered. :) :) Actually I should address it to the scientists and doctors who insist neurons die!!!
