Which of the following compounds cannot cross the blood-brain barrier? Dopamine
Neurons in the CNS have less chance of regenerating for all of the following reasons except: microglia lay down scar tissue.
Regeneration of nerve fibers will take place only if the cell body is intact and the fibers have: a neurilemma.
