It is never too late to start
You might recall that researchers have been working on the direct conversion of glial cells in the scars produced following ischemic injury to the brain. Overexpression of NeuroD1 via gene therapy appears an effective approach to achieve this goal, at least in the controlled scenario of an animal model. In mice this intervention gives rise to neurons that integrate into existing neural circuits, leading to some degree of functional recovery.
