Good news/bad news I guess. Good news if we can regenerate some of our
failing brain cells (Sign me up). But bad news if new cell generation is
essential to brain function. Makes uploading to an electronic version
trickier. Interesting that the cell regeneration was found in an area
thought to be associated with memory formation.
