Certain neurons can repair themselves while others can't. Neurons that can repair themselves are refreed to as white matter. The reason white matter can repair itself is because the axons of white matter are myelinated. The axons of neurons in grey matter on the other hand, cannot repair themselves because they are unmyelinated.

∙ 14y agoExcersise has been shown to regenerate new brain cells and I myself have noticed a lot of improvement after 1 day of running such as increased ability to stay focused and alert and increased short term memory. If I don't excersise for a week, then the benefits I gained from excersising start decreasing. I think the reason why brain cells regenerate after excersising may involve more oxygen coming to the brain and increased blood flow.

∙ 14y agoAlthough there is a phenomena called brain healing in which the damaged tissue liquefies and a lining forms around the damaged area, the brain can neither repair the damage nor replace the tissue. The rest of the brain compensates by using other areas to perform the otherwise lost function. See the related links.

How important is sleep to your overall functioning throughout the day?
Some sleep experts suggest that neurons used during the day repair themselves during sleep. When we experience sleep deprivation, neurons are unable to perform effectively, and the nervous system is impaired.
Is glial cell are responsible for nourishing and helping to repair neurons?
Yes. The certain glial cells (schwann cells in PNS and oligodendrocyte in the CNS) insulates the neuron's by producing myelin which covers the axon to speed up the action potential.
