>humans did, in fact, experience the birth of new neurons but only in two very specific parts of the brain: in the olfactory bulb, where smells are registered, and in the hippocampus, a curl of tissue that controls memories and is functionally linked to parts of the brain that regulate emotion.<
i really believe that possibly the biggest part of my depression, and not getting better, could be due to losing my sense of smell.
we talked about this before. i have read that of all the senses to lose, the one that has comorbid depression the most is the loss of the ability to smell (anosmia...another f*ck*ng greek word! lol)
nice post phillipa and an interesting read.
thnx.
