And in his latest, unpublished work, Snyder introduced massive brain injuries in mice--including strokes to the cortex--and cured them with stem cells...
Gage's finding--coupled with Snyder's report that same month of stem cells in the fetal human brain--has stood neuroscience on its head, so to speak. As has the latest finding, announced last month by researchers at Princeton, that adult macaque monkeys are constantly growing new cells in the highest and most complex area of the brain, the cerebral cortex. Snyder is now flush with confidence that neuroscience will ultimately cure many, if not all, diseases of the human brain. "By the year 2020 I hope we will have an active way of treating damaged brains...
