I wonder what are the implications for healthy brains. If humans are born with 80 billion neurons and you can increase that number...
I’m optimistic that we will learn these structures, but we have yet to, is all.
"Now researchers at the Max Planck Institute of Neurobiology in Martinsried, the Ludwig Maximilians University Munich, and the Helmholtz Zentrum München have demonstrated that, in mice, transplanted embryonic nerve cells can indeed be incorporated into an existing network and correctly carry out the tasks of damaged cells originally found in that region."

Or do some somatic gene therapy before injection. Seems like about the only way to increase IQ after birth, short of an extremely advanced neural prothesis.
