Functional Neurogenesis in the Injured Neocortex of the Nonhuman Primate [ 2014 - 2017 ]

Research Grant

Researchers: A/Pr James Bourne (Principal investigator) ,  Dr Kaylene Young ,  Dr Tobias Merson

Brief description Research over the past couple of decades has revolutionised our understanding of the capacity of the brain to generate new cells, especially following an injury. However, what does remain controversial is whether this phenomenon occurs in all areas of the brain, especially following a severe traumatic brain injury or stroke. This project will examine whether the outer surface of the brain has the potential to generate new cells following a brain injury and whether they become functional.
