Frederick “Rusty” Gage has spent his life asking a question many neuroscientists once considered heretical: can the adult brain grow new neurons?
When I photographed him at the Salk Institute in February 2026, that question felt less like rebellion and more like legacy. We made portraits in his study overlooking the Pacific, a quiet room washed in coastal light. The ocean moved below the cliffs in long, steady breaths. It is the same office once occupied by Jonas Salk, who recruited Rusty decades ago. The desk, the view, the gravity of the place. You feel it immediately. History is not abstract there. It presses in from the walls.
In the late twentieth century, neuroscience was built on a stark premise: you are born with a fixed number of neurons. Damage them and they are gone. Memory fades. Injury lingers. Aging narrows possibility. Rusty challenged that dogma with careful, methodical experiments that showed new neurons could, in fact, form in the adult hippocampus. The implications were enormous. Learning, mood, resilience, even the biology of hope took on new dimensions.
In person, what strikes you first is his attentiveness. He leans in slightly when you speak, hands folded, eyes steady behind round glasses. There is warmth in him that feels unforced. Soft spoken, yes, but never distant. You sense a mind that is constantly mapping connections, not only between neurons but between people. Students drift in and out of his orbit with ease. Colleagues seek him out. He listens more than he declares.
The study itself holds layers of meaning. Jonas Salk built the institute as a place where scientists could think expansively, where architecture and intellect met the horizon. Standing in that room with Rusty, you understand that recruitment was more than a hire. It was a passing of trust. Salk had imagined a future for biology that included imagination and risk. Rusty carried that forward into the living brain.
His work has since expanded beyond neurogenesis into how the genome shapes the nervous system over time. His lab explores mosaicism in the brain, the idea that our neurons are not genetically identical but subtly varied. The brain becomes not a static organ but a dynamic landscape, shaped by experience and by the restless choreography of DNA. It is a vision of the self that is fluid and intricate.
Photographing him in that office felt less like documenting a single scientist and more like tracing a lineage. Salk sought a vaccine that would protect children from paralysis. Rusty sought evidence that the adult brain was not condemned to decline. Both projects required a certain stubborn optimism. A belief that the body holds more possibility than we assume.
The weight of history was there, yes. But so was something lighter. A current of curiosity that refuses to settle. In Rusty Gage’s presence, you feel that science is not a monument. It is a conversation, still unfolding, with the ocean as witness.

In Naked Knotted Neurons, a group of protesters, some injured, some choking on tear gas, escape violent confrontation with police and other forces by staggering into a safe house they find in the midst of chaos. Strangers to one another, they soon discover they are from different worlds: all were involved in protests, but in different places and times. A trio of dieties, Fate, Chance and Destiny, have gathered them together to charge them with a task: to create a new Hero to solve the world’s most intractable, knotted problems. How to get this message across? Puppets, riddles, and audience participation reveal the secrets the protesters need to fulfill this task.
Following their run at the International Fringe Festival in Edinburgh, Scotland, the Penn Theatre Ensemble presented the company-devised piece Naked Knotted Neurons at Annenberg Center Live on September 4th and 5th, 2015.

Les cellules de Purkinje constituent une catégorie spécifique de neurones situés dans le cervelet, dans la couche moyenne duquel elles se répartissent en un alignement très caractéristique de leurs corps (ou somas). La façon dont leurs dendrites (ramifications par lesquelles elles reçoivent l'information provenant des autres neurones) s'arborisent autour de leur corps jusque dans la couche la plus externe du cervelet, est également assez caractéristique et les rend facilement reconnaissables. A l'opposé de cet "arbre dendritique", leur axone (longue ramification unique se terminant par une synapse grâce à laquelle elles transmettent l'information à d'autres neurones) se prolonge en traversant la couche granulaire (couche la plus interne) du cervelet et rejoignent les noyaux cérébelleux profonds où leur synapse se connecte aux neurones de la moelle épinière, du bulbe et du cortex.
Ici, on peut visualiser des cellules de Purkinje marquées par un fluorophore.

For the 17th Biennale of Sydney, the Museum of Contemporary Art presents Roxy Paines Neuron. This work examines systems of growth and decay by setting them against processes of organic evolution and industrial construction. Entropy the inevitable and steady running down of energy (man-made and natural) is counterbalanced by possibilities for regeneration. His work is nearly always based on a creation of tension between organic and manmade environments. This has been expressed at different times, in vitrines of meticulously replicated mushroom and plant life (often poisonous or hallucinogenic) in varying states of decay. He has also made a series of large structures based on the forms of trees with their roots exposed, handmade out of industrial stainless steel pipe. These works are generically called Dendroids. Neuron, the vast new work shown for the first time in front of the MCA, continues this idea, focusing even more on the idea of dendrites and synapses, the means by which information, knowledge and experience are eerily and electrically transmitted through a body.

La Red de Transporte Onírico™ en este momento (Marzo 2010) cuenta con 87™ estaciones distribuidas en cinco neuronas básicas, conocidas como Madrid, Valencia, Buenos Aires, Berlin y México. Abiertas en forma de raíz bajo el suelo de la realidad cruda de cada metropolitano del mundo. Un submundo onírico por el que viajar. Así hemos decidido representar esta “otra realidad”. El tablero está sobre la mesa. Esta es la visión en dos dimensiones, un trabajo en construcción, coordinado por el Operario Amorós (R™), quien lo mima y lo acaricia para que siga latiendo. Varios Operarios más colaboran en la actualidad en varias áreas de desarrollo onírico. Nuestra pequeña criatura tiene cuatro años, y esa es una edad para jugar, con la sencillez de un niño y el ingenio de un loco.
Por el momento estamos construyendo el Meta Mapamundi Redretro. Limando su usabilidad. Pero ciertos trayectos son absolutamente realizables. Hemos de empezar a cruzar distintos recorridos entre nodos. Hacer preguntas y obtener más preguntas a cambio. Volver a tirar el dado dadá.
Me
inquieta por ejemplo
cierto trayecto realizable en la Redretro
entre Kaiser Dummy™ en la ciudad de Berlín y Patriotismo™ en la Ciudad de México. ¿Que podría suceder en ese recorrido?. ¿Y entre Voltaire™ en Berlín y Picasso™ en Valencia? Ese tipo de propuesta es la que lanzo sobre el tablero para todos
aquellos operarios y usuarios que quieran disponer
de nuestros servicios. Atrévanse a viajar por
la Redretro y

Es importante disponer de algún tipo de sistema para transportarse en este mundo raro. En vez de buscar señales en el universo o en el cielo, buscamos señales en la ciudad, para subvertir significados y crear trayectos emocionales paralelos. Para inventarnos una nueva vía. Una religión. Un dios. Diositos. Mecanismos contra la estupidez y el delirio universal. Escusas. Escusados. Duchamp. Do Dadá. Se Free. Be Trompe. Vini. Vinilo. Vinci.™
