The animals were studied in the conscious state after full recovery from the operation. Blood alcohol was undetectable before and 6...

Neural Stem Cells (NSCs) are primary progenitors who can generate the two neural types (neurons and glia). Classically it was assumed that NSCs are only present in the embryo, but...
