Episode Synopsis

What happens when the cells of the nervous system, which are called neurons, die? As approximately 86 billion of these cells are found in the brain, spinal cord, and throughout the body, their failure can be devastating. On this episode, we discuss how our nervous system functions like an electrical grid, nature's impact on the nervous systems of the living and the unborn, and where you might first experience signs of neurodegeneration.
