PSYB65H3 Chapter Notes - Chapter 16: Dentate Gyrus, Programmed Cell Death, Axotomy
Document Summary
The normal adult brain produces new neurons and that neural death is a normal part of brain development. Understanding why and how recovery occurs is the best hope to cure brain damage. Understanding neural degeneration, regeneration and organization in the intact central nervous system will provide us with possible treatments and therapy to improve the quality of life of brain damage. Its where the death rejoices to teach those who live. It gives researches valuable information about how various disease and conditions affect the body which could result in possible treatment. Many neurological disease are cause by dearth of neurons or glia. 3. results of infection (meningitis) any disruption to homeostatic that cannot be compensated by the neuron results in necrotic cell death. Ischemia: disruption in blood flow that results from strokes of heart attacks. If the neuron fails to regulate sodium and potassium it also fails to regulate water and calcium.
