Discusses research done by the present author (1976, 1978, 1980, 1981, 1982, 1983, 1984)
and his colleagues on brain events that control learning. This work, using canaries, has
shown that brain cells can be replaced in adulthood. It is suspected that neuronal
replacement in adulthood is related to some kinds of learning; it is also a form of brain repair,
though it happens in the absence of an external lesion.(PsycINFO Database Record (c)
