These glutamate receptors acidify the surrounding intracranial fluid, causing further injury on the molecular level to nearby neurons.
Thus, it can act on several nearby neurons, even on those not connected by a synapse.
The processes affecting neurons also cause damage to glial cells, leaving nearby neurons with little or no support system.
Toxins poison nearby neurons, and glutamate can overexcite them.
All our wanderings since have merely taken us to a nearby neuron and from that to a neighboring neuron.
Transneuronal degeneration is the death of neurons resulting from the disruption of input from or output to other nearby neurons.
The technical cause of transneuronal degeneration is the death of neurons resulting from the disruption of input from or output to other nearby neurons.
If there are two nearby neurons that often produce an impulse simultaneously, their cortical maps may become one.
The chemicals are selective in that they don't damage the surrounding axons of nearby neurons, but only the target neurons.
Reactive astrocytes have the potential to promote neural toxicity via the generation cytotoxic molecules such as nitric oxide radicals and other reactive oxygen species, which may damage nearby neurons.
