This is,simply not true. Meditation is just intentional non-judgemental awareness of the present moment. The whole point is that you don't judge thoughts or sensations as good or bad. This training can lead to a permanent state of meditation, which will break the biggest cause of depression, i.e. rumination.

Although these cells as a population are highly diverse in shape, upon initial emergence from mitosis, sibling cells can adopt the same complex shape that can be identical or mirror image. Perhaps the simultaneous transition to a postmitotic state of sibling neural precursors freezes the morphological signature. Very interesting blog. I will starting checking in more frequently.

All it requires is inhaling deeply and slowly an essential oil high in sesquiterpenes (Cedarwood, Sandalwood, Basil, Frankincense) effectively stimulating the olfactory bulb, inhaling a small amount of cannabis, stimulating the hippocampus, then meditating with specific types of music and moving your eyes back and forth. And, with the help of a Solid State Topography machine, it can be observed, will be observed. It is possible to manifest neurogenesis daily.

Would love it if u could assit me...it is a very wide and interesting field.

For the record, I'm definitely not attached to the feedforward loop idea. I think you make a good point which is that we probably need to think about the functional significance of neurogenesis not in the simple terms of whether there are fewer or more new neurons. The transient nature of the stress-induced suppression of neurogenesis might suggest that a feedforward cascade is unlikely, but the truth is that we don't know much about the circuit functions of new neurons (or even how hippocampal neurons more generally regulate stress responses). I like the idea you mention that maybe stressful events alter new neuron function (without necessarily altering the actual number of new neurons present). Maybe this is a more realistic mechanism by which stress could contribute to depression through neurogenesis - e.g. stress creates a dysfunctional population of plastic cells that then hijack the hippocampus and alter behaviour.
