A new study on the brain of zebrafish has proven that new neurons are formed in the brain in an orderly and coordinated manner

The researchers found that the activation process of stem cells in the brain responsible for the production of neurons (nerve cells) is not random but ordered and coordinated. According to them, the findings are of great importance for understanding the normal development of the brain.
