The brain was traditionally viewed as a static organ, without turnover of neurons or significant capacity for self-repair after insults. Research in the last years has established that neurons are renewed in certain areas throughout life. The prospect of stimulation of endogenous neurogenesis as well as cell transplantation has raised hope for new therapies for neurological diseases.
