In vivo imaging of neuronal activation and plasticity in the rat brain by high resolution positron emission tomography (microPET)
Article Abstract:
Researchers from the University of California, Los Angeles, Calif., studied brain samples from rodents for neuronal repair and neuroplastic processes using positron emission tomography to better understand the therapies needed to treat human brain disorders.

High-yield selection and extraction of two promoter-defined phenotypes of neural stem cells from the fetal human brain
Article Abstract:
Researchers in the U.S., and Japan devised a means to grow neural stems cells obtained from first-trimester fetal brains. With these cells, researchers then found that such cells could repair themselves during division, and could create neurons and glia, which could lead to the growth of neural stem cells, and conceivably repair a damaged human brain.
