Physical pressure on the brain triggers neurons’ self-destruction programming

College of Engineering
To think, feel, talk and move, neurons send messages through electrical signals in the brain and spinal cord. This intricate communication network is built of billions of neurons connected by synapses and managed and modified by glial cells. When neurons die, this communication network is disrupted and since this loss is irreversible, neuron death causes […] The post Physical pressure on the brain triggers neurons’ self-destruction programming appeared first on Aerospace and Mechanical Engineeri
