Quizplus · Accepted Answer

While it used to be believed that neurons in the central nervous system could not regenerate or reproduce, recent research has shown that some limited regeneration and neurogenesis (formation of new neurons) can occur in certain parts of the brain. However, the process is more limited than in other parts of the body and in the peripheral nervous system.
