The discovery suggests that in humans it could be possible to provoke the body's own stem cells into repairing an injury, rather than laboriously growing and transplanting new cells.

The Brain Repair Center (BRC) states that “In the next two decades, brain disorders will surpass cancer and heart disease as the leading cause of death and disability.”

The rats also sprouted a collection of new cells in the brain.

Should we wonder if the rat was able to think new thoughts?

"Researchers believe"

That's the keyword, and I don't believe it. I've had brain surgery and I'm now dull-witted, especially from the years of medication that I have to take. That's the truth and I'm sticking to it. :(

Not if Americans will stop reading and watching the likes of The New York Times, Dan Rather's CBS TV, etc.

Their spiel is enough to damage and/or destroy the brain of many people.

Unfortunately, no. Once liberalism sets in it is hopeless. Might as well cut the head off and start all over again. :)

Thanks for posting this NeverDem. Have a brain/neuro ping list? Should we start one?

I must be getting dyslexic in my old age. When I read the Headline to the thread I thought, "Brian who?"

Oy.
