Every day the brain
generates 10,000 stem cells
that split into two.
One becomes a daughter line
that continues making stem cells, and the other
migrates to wherever it's needed in the Brain
and becomes that kind of cell.
Very often that destination is
where the cell is needed for
new learning.
Over the next four months,
that new cell forms about
10,000 connections with others
to create new neural circuitry.
The new understanding is whats called 'neurogenesis'.
Stem cells are a class of
undifferentiated cells
that are able to differentiate
into specialized cell types.
Commonly, stem cells come from
two main sources:
• Embryos formed during
the blastocyst phase of
embryological development
(embryonic stem cells) and
• Adult tissue (adult stem cells).
