Is Pruning Necessary?
There's evidence in hesperitan, right? That that by overriding that pruning mechanism, are we getting higher functioning brain cells or sysynapses? Yes, yes. Because they mostly don't know whether these neurogenic compounds, whether they create new brain cells faster, or whether they keep existing new brain cells alive. You want to do both. A high sugar diet will cut your neurogenic rate in half. But if you're undoing it by quite a bit, some degree of pruning is necessary when we don't use it. We also want to not eat certain things which slow down neurogenesis and snapped genesis.
