Nobody can explain the processes of the brain fully, but there are some things we do know about it, such as the brain’s ability to repair itself called neuroregeneration. When the nerve fibers of the brain lose its protective coating, called myelin, the brain sends adult stem cells to regenerate a new myelin sheet. This process […]

Aging without disease: Scientists have discovered that nervous system function can be restored with proper lifestyle adjustments

A team of researchers from the University of Wisconsin-Madison reports that thin myelin sheaths are able to restore the impaired nervous system of animals with long life spans and can support its function for years after the onset of a disease. Myelin is a vital insulating sheet or layer wrapping the nerve fibers found in the central nervous […]
