Humans continue to produce new brain cells until they die

Benzo WD induces changes in gene expression. New brain cells won't fix changes in the gene transcription coding of said cells.

 

Hate to be the bearer of bad news but this is so much more complicated than new brain cells = healing.

yes complicated however there are so  many things that can be affected and we are all different.

 

 

These medications can include a huge range of unpleasant and debilitating central nervous system symptoms.

 

The physical stuff  does eventually heal, and is possibly not genetic.  :thumbsup:  Just takes time, research and adjustments to heal.

 

So many things to address, and new brain cells are just part of the whole jigsaw problem, as well as addressing other issues. :thumbsup:

 

some good news is better than nothing,  :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

By now, neuroplasticity should not be news, so along with the new brain cells, the old brain cells -- those that got zapped by benzos -- will recuperate over time, because that is what cells do, seek health and homeostasis.  Any detrimental changes in gene expression can be reversed; a healthy diet, for instance, can help "turn on" the appropriate genes instead.  This IS complicated, but DNA transcription is influenced by, and responds to, the cellular environment, so it is always in flux, not lodged in some change for eternity.

Thanks for posting this.  Adult neurogenesis plays a very large part in the Benzodiazaphine wd and PWS model, which is explained  and developed in this thread.

 

http://www.benzobuddies.org/forum/index.php?topic=184940.390

 

For a summary , go to page 40.  Neural circuit neuroplasticity (homeostatic plasticity) and action potential dynamics (at the neuronal level) are other critical components of the model.  The model attempts to explain why tolerance develops, why we have the wd symptoms that we have, and one mechanism by which the PWS can occur (primarily through aberrant neurogenesis and a progressively dysfunctional stress system)

Adult neurogenesis is profoundly affected by GABA receptors, and highly neurogenic areas of the brain like the hippocampus play a role in the development of our withdrawal symptoms.
