Not only do brain cells alter their connections, but additional neurons can also spontaneously form, a process called neurogenesis.

Overstreet - Wadiche and UAB colleagues posed a basic question: Since the number of neurons in the dentate gyrus increases by neurogenesis while the number of neurons in the cortex remains the same, does the brain create additional synapses from the cortical neurons to the new granule cells, or do some cortical neurons transfer their connections from mature granule cells to the new granule cells?

So for the last 15 years I've been studying retinal ganglion cell biology trying to understand why they fail to survive after injury or in degenerative diseases like glaucoma and also when their connections to the brain are interrupted why do they fail to regenerate to regrow, why do they fail to repair themselves, it's this fundamental problem that leads to permanent vision loss in glaucoma.

Replacing brain cells using stem cells from embryos was tried before but didn't work well, probably because we didn't understand how to look after the cells, nurture them to become neurons and get them to make the right connections when transplanted into HD brain.
