Nervous tissues cannot replication, therefore, you are out of luck if one atrophies. Nervous tissues are found in the brain, spinal cord, and the peripheral nerves. There are neurons and neuroglia.

Henry Gustav Molaison is one of the most famous patients in the annals of brain research. In 1953, an experimental surgery meant to relieve his severe epilepsy rendered him unable to form new memories. When he died in 2008, his brain was painstakingly preserved. Now it's available online for scientists (or others who request permission) to explore down to the level of its cellular architecture.

Node Smith, ND Senior author Professor Bryce Vissel, from the UTS Centre for Neuroscience & Regenerative Medicine, said his team used novel behavioral, molecular and computational techniques to investigate memories […]
