    The document describes the symptoms and effects of a change in pH level in neurons. A decrease in pH level causes neurons to be incapable of producing sufficient ATP, failing to maintain electrolyte balance, and ceasing normal function. This leads to various neurological, cognitive, sensory, muscular and other deficits throughout the body. If the condition continues unchecked, it can trigger ischemic cascades that damage cell membranes, release harmful compounds, and ultimately cause irreversible neuronal damage, brain malfunction, and death.

    A
    Vasoconstriction
    Generation of
    Free Radicals
    Release of more
    calcium and
    glutamate
    Irreversible neuronal damage
    Brain Malfunction
    DEATH
    Ischemic Cascades
    Threatens cells in the brain (penumbra region) because
    membrane depolarization of cell wall leads to increase in
    intracellular calcium and release of glutamate
    If it continues, it activates a # of damaging
    pathways that result in cell membrane
    destruction
