摘要：
The human brain has a remarkable capacity for plasticity, but does it have the capacity for repair and/or regeneration? On the basis of controversial new evidence we speculate that the answer may be 'yes', and suggest that clinicians should therefore approach cognitive impairment and dementia with a new, cautious optimism.
