Brain cell is a generic term for the neurons and glial cells.Neurons are nerve cells that process and transmit information through the nervous system.Glial cells provide support,protection,and nutrition to the neurons.Other cells in the brain include epithelial cells that make up the lining of the blood vessels.
Brain cells are commonly thought to remain in the beginning stage of interphase of cell reproduction for their life,and never divide, and instead develop by forming new synapses with other neurons.Some brain cells in mature humans may regenerate under certain circumstances.
This post is for your information only. You need not memorise all the facts in there. By the way, I don't encourage memorising, I just want you to understand better why brain cells have a certain structure.
Mrs Lee , the brain cells are also called neurons . I didn't know it before i read the facts that you have put up on the blog . Mrs Lee , You are definitely expert in computers !
Jia Mei, I'm still learning like you. There are still many things in the internet/computer which I need many of you to teach me.
Eg. How to design the skin to a blog. I don't want to use templates =< and I don't have the time to read online. Hopefully some of you can show me. That will save a lot of my time.
