Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Neural stem cells have lower oxygen and energy requirements than neurons, which means they can survive longer outside the body and be stored in banks for future research or medical use. Neurons, on the other hand, require a constant supply of oxygen and nutrients to function and cannot survive outside the body.
