1. Adult brain cells can and do regenerate
2. Even if something is broken or missing does not mean that rehab is impossible. See the thousands of vets with missing limbs, etc.
3. Really? A nickname is an actual talking point for you? Are you sure you never smoked any? My sister and I both regularly smoked in HS and college. She was a double-major in Chemistry and Biology, and has Masters in each, graduating third in her undergrad class at a Big Ten university. I aced the SAT, have a BS and a BA, have a doctorate (not in Education), and finished first in my class in my first undergrad major at a different Big Ten university. Neither of us are "addicts", nor dopes, nor rubber heads.
Many older studies of various kinds showed that brain cells are not replaced or regenerated after adolescence.
Claims from rat and mouse research to argue against the older knowledge was published in more recent reports for corporations trying to offer ways for some extremely wealthy customers to stop aging. Problem is, we’re not rats or mice. Our brains are different.
