From the article:
"Now researchers at the Max Planck Institute of Neurobiology in Martinsried, the Ludwig Maximilians University Munich, and the Helmholtz Zentrum München have demonstrated that, in mice, transplanted embryonic nerve cells can indeed be incorporated into an existing network and correctly carry out the tasks of damaged cells originally found in that region."
- daveFNbuck 8y agoThat's about repairing damaged brains, not augmenting healthy brains.
- mattigames 8y agoI think replacing very old cells with new ones, think 60-year-old's brain may prove to be pretty much the same, in the sense that they have neuroplasticity once again.
- ben_w 8y agoDepends on your goals. To think like a 20-year-old again? Sure, I’d buy that. Superhuman? Nah — and there’s plenty we are unable to think. I’m interested in both types of brain enhancement.
