When a neuron is damaged, the glial cells remove the neuron, and work to protect the other neurons.Glial progenitor cells can form into neurons or glial cells, depending on what type was damaged.

∙ 15y agoyes From: katanatac- The answer is NO! once you kill a brain cell it is forever gone. The only reason say someone with a brain injury is able to over come this injury is because the brain is made up of so many cells that it can re-route the electrical impulses that it sends to make muscles move,ect...

∙ 11y agoYes, to some extent they can grow. Right after a stroke is the best time to retrain or rewire the brain. The longer the time after the harder it gets, but recent research shows that brain cells can be renewed and new synapse developed.

What happens if motor neurons are damaged?
Motor neuron involve the muscles. If they are damaged, then the muscle that they are connected to will not work.
What is the process by which axons of healthy neurons adjacent to damaged neurons grow new branches to make up for the damage?
Collateral Sprouting
Why can't a damaged cell in the brain be replaced?
Nerve cells are in G0, which means the cells are in developmental arrest. They do not divide or grow, they stay the same and don't regenerate.
How much time is taken by paper to regenerate?
paper does not regenerate
Can bursa sac regenerate?
can a shoulder bursa sac regenerate
Can the central nervous system regenerate?
No, that is why when someone breaks their spine they are paralyzed for life, because the neurons can not regenerate.
Why do injuries in the skin heal faster than injuries to the brain?
The neurons in the brain and else where do not normally regenerate. Skin cells do regenerate.
Do the cells of the receptor organ in the inner ear regenerate?
No, once damaged the cells will scar but not regenerate.
Can undamaged neurons make new connection with damaged neurons?
yes
What type of muscle will not regenerate once its severely damaged?
skeletal
Do buildings regenerate if they get damaged in Roblox?
they will only regenerate if they were scripted to do that. More commonly they will regenerate after a certain time (i.e. 300 seconds (5 minutes)) although there are other ways of doing this!
How does a computer regenerate?
A computer does not regenerate in the typical sense of the word, but it does re-use memory. This makes the computer seem to regenerate space. A computer can also reset back to a previous period in time which helps it to regenerate to a period before it was damaged.
Could damaged neurons in the CNS multiply and grow back?
no
What happens if motor neurons are damaged?
Motor neuron involve the muscles. If they are damaged, then the muscle that they are connected to will not work.
What ability do neurons have that other cells don't?
Cells other than neurons undergo apoptosis and if neurons die they don't regenerate hencw their number reduces and even their injuries are difficult to treat and it can cause several neurological diseases unlike other cells .
What is the process by which axons of healthy neurons adjacent to damaged neurons grow new branches to make up for the damage?
Collateral Sprouting
What neuron has the capacity for regeneration?
Motor neurons have the capacity to regenerate as long as the Schwann cells remain intact
