A team of scientists from the Karolinska Medical Institute (Sweden) has designed a technique carbon-14 to determine how many cells are generated daily in the human brain. they analyzed by mass spectrometry carbon-14 cells in the adult hippocampus, and came to the conclusion that every day about 1,400 new neurons are produced in our brains, explained Jonas Frisén, "Then he began to think that there is some renewal rate, there is hippocampal neurogenesis throughout life, suggesting that new neurons can contribute the function of the human brain.
