Q

TRUE OR FALSE: Normal neurons in the mature individual do not undergo division and replication.
Neurons can recover and improve even when injured, however, there are no schwann cell basement membranes or endoneurial investments surrounding the axons of the CNS. Thus, effective regeneration does not occur in the CNS.

A

True
