## Abstract Experimental traumatic brain injury (TBI) and spinal cord injury (SCI) result in a rapid and significant necrosis of neuronal tissue at the site of injury. In the ensuing hours and days, secondary injury exacerbates the primary damage, resulting in significant neurologic dysfunction. It

A number of factors have been implicated in the pathogenesis of cell death in Parkinson's disease (PD). These include oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, inflammation, excitotoxicity, and apoptosis. While the precise pathogenic mechanism leading to neurodegeneration in PD is not known, ther
Ammonia is the principal neurotoxin implicated in the pathogenesis of hepatic encephalopathy, and astrocytes are the neural cells predominantly affected in this condition. Astrocyte swelling (cytotoxic edema) represents a critical component of the brain edema in acute form of hepatic encephalopathy
