The person who answered this before was incorrect. They said that brain cells don't grow back, which has been disproved by recent scientific research. In fact, brain cells do grow back, but there is no guarantee that you will be left with as many as you started with!

There are specific regions of the brain that contain cells that re-enter the cell cycle and divide. The term for this 'neurogenesis'. In humans and other mammals one region known for its proliferative capacity is the subgranular zone of the dentate gyrus.

∙ 15y agoWhile some stem cells have been found to become nerve cells in the spinal cord, there has been no evidence that these cells can be found in the brain. In effect, no nerve cells grow back, though some may be replaced. However, the brain has been found to be less "hard-wired" and more "plastic" in nature than thought years ago. This means that stroke patients may undergo successful rehabilitation by the retraining of other parts of the brain to assume control of activities lost in the original damaged portions.

What is the cells that take up half the brain?
Brain cells!
Why do you have brain cells and what are they for?
Brain cells, mainly neurons, are what make you and make how you work. Without brain cells you could not exist.
Does technology kill brain cells?
yes technology kills brain cells:)
What type of cell no longer undergoes mitosis?
The cells that make up your brain usually do not go through mitosis when mature.
What specialised cells are there?
Skin cells, brain cells, blood cells, etc.
Can you regain brain activity after losing it?
Can you gain brain activity after losing it
Do alcoholic brain cells grow back?
Brain cells, damaged for whatever reasons, do not regenerate. However, the brain has the capacity to re-route its neural networks to make up for lost functions if the damage is not too severe. Most alcoholics who get into recovery early and stick with it do eventually regain most of their mental function. Beyond a certain point, however, irreversible brain damage (known as "wet brain") occurs, and full functioning can never be regained.
What is the name of human tissue that contain 85 percent of water?
Brain cells.
Once breathing stops how long is it until brain damage occurs?
It is roughly around 3 minutes and it depends on the person (i.e. baby, adult...etc.). Brain damage is irreversible no matter how long you are without oxygen. Once brain damage begins you can never regain those cells that have died.
Are there cells in the brain?
Yes. They are called, ironically, brain cells.
What kind of cells are in the brain?
Neurons are brain cells
What is the cells that take up half the brain?
Brain cells!
Why do you have brain cells and what are they for?
Brain cells, mainly neurons, are what make you and make how you work. Without brain cells you could not exist.
How many cells in the human brain?
There are over 400,094,800 cells in the human brain, while the entire body has about 50 to 75 trillion cells.
What kind of cells become a brain?
The brain is composed of two types of cells, nerve cells and glial cells.
Do old brain cells pass information to new brain cells?
the answer is no
Does cheese kill brain cells?
no cheese does not kill brain cells
