Cerebral Neurons Assist Adjacent Neurons

After retinal lesions, the affected cerebral neurons suddenly no longer receive input signals. However, they do remain inactive: they receive signals from neighboring cells, strengthen these and then transmit them. For this purpose, they form new networks during the first few weeks after the lesion - initially on a trial basis and later as permanent connections.
