ARVID´S COLUMN
Usually, negative results of the research of stem cells and regeneration of nerve cells are not paid attention to. Many people believe for instance that new nerve cells can replace dead nerve cells in the adult human brain. This has however not yet been proven.


LENA´S COLUMN
No new nerve cells are needed in learning, and depression is not caused by a reduction of the regeneration of nerve cells, according to studies.
