Neuronal Stem Cells

These neuronal stem cells are tagged with flourescent protiens. I like how they are entertwined.

    The wonder of creation, if it ran with evolution the deeper we go the simpler the structure yet time and again what we find runs counter to this logic and it remains complex and sometimes get more complex.

      Yes indeed.

      I think you mean: the deeper we go the “smaller” the structure! Small (mtcro) does not mean that it is not complex, on the contrary…

        I mean “micro”.

        Nope meant it as typed.

          Then you are wrong since and obviously small structures are NOT simple as we go deeper and deeper!

            I thought that she meant something along the lines of going from organ, to tissue, to cells.

              That’s still going from bigger to smaller and not from complex to simple. In other words, just because one goes down in size does not mean that one will lose the complexity. Like for example, just look at the computer and cell phone micro integrated circuits (ICs), especially these days…

              Yep.

      " if it ran with evolution the deeper we go the simpler the structure"
      .
      completely back asswards
      things do not evolve into simpler things

        Eh, I’m not worried about the statement.
