Alternative Medicine Information Environment Complexity Stimulates Visual Cortex Neurogenesis: death of a dogma and a research career by Dr. Michael S. Kaplan (President & Founder of Massage Institute of Maryland) TRENDS in Neurosciences October 2001, Vol. 24, No. 10, pg. 617-620 Introduction by the Editor "Over the past few years, the classic idea that no new nerve cells are born in the adult mammalian brain has finally and conclusively been refuted by the scientific community. Yet, the first indications that neurogenesis occurs in the brain of adult mammals were obtained using light and electron microscopy over two decades ago. Why this went unrecognized is described in a personal account by the researcher who pioneered those studies: Michael Kaplan."BR> This TRENDS in Neurosciences journal article details Dr. Kaplan's ground breaking studies on how environmental stimuli generates the re-growth of neurons in the visual cortex.
