Damaged Brain Can Be Repaired And Cerebral Functions Restored, Neuronal Study Suggests

Summary:

Scientists have shown that it is possible to repair an injured brain by creating a small number of new, specifically-targeted innervations, rather than a larger number of non-specific connections. Behavioral tests have demonstrated that such reinnervation can thus restore damaged cerebral functions.
