I, Too, Hope To Be Wrong

The issue, of course, is the ability of nerves and nerve masses to re-grow, re-connect, and regain normal function.

Nerves and nerve tissues are famous for their general susceptibility to permanent injury or damage. The many with spinal cord injuries experience this. Paralysis too often results and never resolves.

Might Anavex 2-73, somehow, induce resumed growth of new nerves, and thereafter cause them to connect and self-organize into functioning nerve masses? Presently, I’ve seen nothing to indicate any of this. But all sorts of work, I’m certain, is being done on murine models in a number of labs. Some Anavex pipeline molecule might, somehow, be able to induce nerve re-growth and expanded function. It would be an epigenetic process, I believe, where the Anavex molecule would turn on the genetics of neurogenesis. Many animals are capable of this. Let’s hope an Anavex molecule can be made to induce the process for us “higher” humans.
