Summary; A study has revealed that immature neurtrons that are taken form healty mouse embryos can repair damaged brain circuitry and partially normalize metabolism when they are inserted into adult mice who have grown morbidly obese from a genetic deficiency. This is just one step down a long road to neuronal replacement therapy which is hoped to be able one day to repair brains that have been injured by trauma and disease.
Critique: I like it
