I started keeping a rough tally. Six, sometimes eight on a single walk. They are clearly there. They just rarely bother to show themselves.

  10. Why the lack of neurogenesis in adults may be an evolved positive trait in mammals. In song birds:

    “... as the new neurons move through the brain, they seem to be pushing or deforming the tissue,” Scott says. “You could imagine that they might be altering the circuit, breaking connections that are the basis of stored memories.”
