“The well-being of a neuron depends on its ability to communicate with other neurons. Studies have shown that electrical and chemical stimulation from both a neuron's inputs and its targets support vital cellular processes. Neurons unable to connect effectively with other neurons atrophy. Useless, an abandoned neuron will die.” WellsDiesProcessAbilitySupportStudyDependsCommunicateWell BeingUselessTargetChemicalsAbandonedElectricalInputStimulationNeuronsAtrophyCellularAbility To Communicate Book:Lisa Genova Box Set: Still Alice and Left Neglected Source: Lisa Genova Box Set: Still Alice and Left Neglected
“Even then, more than a year earlier, there were neurons in her head, not far from her ears, that were being strangled to death, too quietly for her to hear them. Some would argue that things were going so insiduously wrong that the neurons themselves initiated events that would lead to their own destruction. Whether it was molecular murder or cellular suicide, they were unable to warn her of what was happening before they died.” YearsEventsHappeningsDestructionEarsMurderDiedSuicideArguingNeuronsCellular Book:Lisa Genova Box Set: Still Alice and Left Neglected Source: Lisa Genova Box Set: Still Alice and Left Neglected
