Guest guest Posted February 19, 2002 Report Share Posted February 19, 2002 PROMISING STRIDES IN BRAIN CELL REGENERATION RESEARCH from Scripps News Service BOSTON - Scientists may be moving closer to the day when neurologists can say " brain, heal thyself. " Until recently, experts were sure that new brain cells were impossible for adults to come by, that all the gray matter we get is pretty much in place well before we reach adolescence. But there's new evidence that a few regions of the brain keep churning out new cells, and new hope that the precursors of those specialized cells can be coaxed into producing other types of brain cells needed to reverse or repair damaged regions. Research on two tracks in rats was reported Monday during the annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. http://www.nando.net/healthscience/story/257819p-2411542c.html> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
