The sentences given below, when properly sequenced, would yield a coherent paragraph. Decide on the proper sequencing of the order of the sentences and key in the sequence of the numbers as your answer.
- In the central nervous systems of other animal species, such a comprehensive regeneration of neurons has not yet been proven beyond doubt.
- Biologists from the University of Bayreuth have discovered a uniquely rapid form of regeneration in injured neurons and their function in the central nervous system of zebrafish.
- They studied the Mauthner cells, which are solely responsible for the escape behaviour of the fish, and previously regarded as incapable of regeneration.
- However, their ability to regenerate crucially depends on the location of the injury.

Entered answer:
Solution
Step-by-step thought process:
First, we look for the opening sentence - one that introduces a new topic without depending on previous information.
Sentence 2 is a complete introduction: "Biologists from the University of Bayreuth have discovered..." This doesn't need any prior context.
Next, we follow the pronoun connections -> Sentence 3 starts with "They studied" -> This "They" clearly refers to the "Biologists" mentioned in sentence 2.
Then we look for transition words -> Sentence 4 starts with "However" -> This word shows it's adding a limitation to what came before.
Finally, sentence 1 provides a broader comparison -> It contrasts the zebrafish discovery with other animal species.
Logical flow: Introduction -> Specific study details -> Limitation -> Broader context
