Could you tell me what happens in the nervous system when a stroke occurs?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
An infarct.: When a complete stroke occurs or cerebral infarction, the blood supply to a part of the brain is stopped, usually by a blood clot in the artery supplying that portion of the brain. Initially that part of the swells a bit and then dies. Over time the dead brain tissue is replaced by fluid to keep the pressure between the skull and the brain normal. Dead brain tissue is called encephalomalacia.
