The magnetic force is the illusive 6th force of nature that the physicists have been searching for, they just don't know it yet. It is the unifying force that connects gravity and all of the other forces.

They just did it again and they didn't even give a reason. What kind of corrupt site is this??

Why doesn't dendritogenesis continue in adulthood?
in Anatomy, Physiology and Neuroscience

It is theorized that certain genetic disorders are caused by selection pressure and overdominance, e.g. a recessive mutation may boost IQ in heterozygotes despite being harmful or even lethal in homozygotes. Examples include Tay-Sachs or Gaucher's disease. See Ectopic dendrite initiation: CNS pathogenesis as a model of CNS development (Siegel et al., 2002).
The putative mechanism for elevated intelligence is reinitiation of primary dendrites on mature cortical neurons. My question is, if adulthood dentritogenesis promotes learning and boosts IQ why hasn't the human organism evolved to have common non-pathological alleles that do this already without the need for dangerous mutations?
