Imagine the brain could reboot, updating its damaged cells with new, improved units. That may sound like science fiction - but it’s a potential reality scientists are investigating right now. Ralitsa Petrova details the science behind neurogenesis and explains how we might harness it to reverse diseases like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s.

A brain can fix everything else in the world but can't fix itself
My beloved mother just died of stroke three weeks ago! How I miss her so badly & wished this treatment was available to save her life. She was very active & had the sharpest brain! I wonder why she got such a massive stroke from nowhere!!! A grieving daughter 💔 wishes all people with debilitating diseases to heal!
I will tell you how it works, I had a stroke when i was 12, its called exercise. I couldnt talk or walk. So i grunted and grunted all day until i could finally say "ma" then so on, I eventually moved a finger and moved it all day until my whole hand, now i have my whole body, im fine
I would have to say the brain can repair itself, although some parts repair faster than others. Our son was in a car wreck over 17 years ago, when he was 18, and had the temporal and frontal lobes damaged. He had started college at sixteen years old. He had to learn to walk, talk and feed himself again. He has also overcome major memory issues. The last CT scan they ran on him showed new blood vessels had formed to bypass the damaged part of his brain. He was able to go back and finish college, and even completed grad school. He is our walking miracle.
This is weird. My brain is learning about my brain...
Even if you could regenerate the neurons, it is their synaptic networks that enable their efficient and repeatable functioning. In other words, despite having new cells to replace the damaged ones, patients would have to "re-learn" the information that the previous neurons contained by re-establishing that synaptic web
I wish my brain will heal again...😞
What about kids
My brain damage was the only thing that made me capable of properly functioning as a human being of society.
cough
If only humanity invested more funds and energy into researching such essential discoveries, instead of wars and lies, we could be living much happier lives.
My answer to this question is: YES!
Love the illustration style and digging the knowledge!
WHY ARE WE NOT FUNDING THIS?!
Pretty cool! Definitely want to read more about this. Can you imagine the implications of this discovery for learning processes? Awesome video as usual Ted guys.
I love artistic expression of this one!!
Last Year I lost my father to Parkinson's. I am glad we are slowly getting there I would love to contribute anything possible to see it a reality because I know what these things do to a family with a member suffering from it.
Great one... thank you for educating us! Information is power ❤
these researchers and doctors and scientists are our true heroes
WOW THAT'S AWESOME BLOWN AWAY. INFORMATION AND VIDEO ARE AWESOME.
