Can the damaged brain repair itself?
After a traumatic brain injury, it sometimes happens that the brain can repair itself, building new brain cells to replace damaged ones.

Siddharthan Chandran walks through some new techniques using special stem cells that could allow the damaged brain to rebuild faster.
