The brain is made up of two basic kinds of cells: neurons and glial cells. The human brain has about 100 billion neurons, according to some estimates (recent scientific experiments are now saying there may be fewer than that); the neurons are said to be assisted by trillions of glia, although again, recent scientific evidence indicates there may be fewer than once thought. But it remains a fact that neurons and glia depend on each other so that the brain will function properly. Neurons are the cells that relay messages about thinking, feeling, and doing. Glial cells perform a variety of brain functions: some make sure that electrical signals speed along the axon (a thin fiber with numerous branches that lead to distant parts of the body), others protect the neurons by defending against bacteria and viruses. Thus, while neurons often are better known, without the glia, the neurons would not work properly.

Embroyonic stem cell will help brain injury?
stem cells are special cells that can differentiate into any kind of human cell. The brain is made up of nerve cells which cannot regenerate. This means that a person with a brain or spinal chord injury is not able to heal. Theoretically, a doctor could induce these stem cells to grow into nerve cells in order to heal a person with a brain or spinal chord injury. In order to do this however they would need to be able to do a lot of research with stem cells first

How are cell like brains?
you should know but you probably dont have any brain cells so goodbye and have a crappy day Cells are like our brain in three different ways. Cells help us think like our brain. Cells help us move and even hear like our brain.
