HypothesisOpen accessIn the abstractIncreased Tissue Pressure Induces Demyelinated Lesions and Necroses in the BrainHelmut Barz, Ulrich Barz, Almut SchreiberA general brain edema increases the size of the brain tissue and stretches the elastic neuronal and glial fibers. Myelinated fibers are more elastic than unmyelinated fibers. The stretching of the neuronal fibers leads particular in regions of the white matter or areas surrounded by myelinated fiber tracts to an increased tissue pressure. This physical principle can be the reason … …Neuroscience International, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 30 Mar 2015 · 7,424 accessesView PDFCite
