Research has shown that this is not true, and that brain cells can and do regenerate, especially in the areas related to learning, decision-making, visual recognition, and the way people perceive objects in space.weet. For a long time, scientists thought that it was impossible for brain cells to regenerate because they assumed that any new cells would disrupt the order of the brain.
Creatures that regenerate limbs and organs have stem cells that keep this ability throughout their life cycles.
