What: "To recap from those static A&P lectures none of us enjoyed, the axon is like a paperboy, sending neurological news, referred to as neurotransmitters, to "homes" called dendrites. The findings show that as axons stretch upon trauma (vulnerable months after an initial stretch), like a worn rubber band, they lose their elasticity after swelling, where proteins then block the proper neural absorption until the axons fall apart (called Diffuse Axonal Injury)."
