Brain cell

[victor]

Are there ant differences between -generic drug- cells, nerve cells and brain cells?? Second, what category is brain cells? -generic drug- cells that can regenerate easily? or nerve cells that cannot regenerate themselves?

There has been debate about that, the old notion was that brain cells could not regenerate, but now new research seems to suggest otherwise.

Acc. to my knowledge...
-generic drug- cells, nerve cells and brain cells are ALIASES. They are the same.
'-generic drug-' specifically refers to the large, rounded part of the neuron. -generic drug- is also known as the cell body. It contains most of the cytoplasm of the neuron.
And 'neuron' btw is the 4th alias for these cells.

I knew the same thing... I'm sure brain cells=nerve cells. Never heard of the term -generic drug- cells though

This thing makes me confused also...many of them said that brain cells is the "master" of nerve cells and this statement makes that barin cells can be classified into nerve cells which cannot regenerate themselves. But, other sources said that there's a report, brain cells damaged area can be cured with electromagnetic pulse radiation. This means that with the contribution of EMP radiation, brai cells can regenerate themselves even though not as fast as -generic drug- cells..But, thanks anyway to all of you who have replied my question..
