Neurogenesis is the process of creating new neurons in the brain. It mainly occurs in the hippocampus, a region responsible for learning and memory. Neurogenesis is important for brain plasticity and cognitive function.
No, the number of neurons in the brain can change throughout one's life. Neuroplasticity allows for the creation of new neurons and the pruning of existing ones based on experience and learning. Certain conditions can also impact neuron number, such as neurodegenerative diseases or injuries.
neurons (which trasmit impulses) and glial cells which provide support and nutrition for the neurons.
Regeneration refers to the process of restoring a damaged or lost body part, while neurogenesis specifically pertains to the creation of new neurons in the brain. Regeneration can involve the growth of various types of tissues beyond neurons, such as skin or limbs, whereas neurogenesis is limited to the production of new nerve cells.
They are called neurons all nerves are called neurons :) :D ;)
The neurons that carry messages to the brain are called sensory neurons. They transmit information from sensory receptors in the body to the brain for processing and interpretation.
Neurogenesis
Neurons can change over time through a process called neuroplasticity, which involves the creation of new connections between neurons, strengthening or weakening existing connections, and the formation of new neurons. This process allows the brain to adapt and reorganize in response to experiences, learning, and injury. Ultimately, these changes contribute to the brain's ability to learn, remember, and adapt to new situations.
These are called efferent neurons. The one that carry impulses away are afferent. Afferent (A) are away (A).
The creation of a new species is called speciation. This process occurs when populations of a species become reproductively isolated and diverge over time, leading to the formation of distinct species.
sensory neurons
The space between neurons is called the synapse.
interneurons also called central or association neurons
