DENDRITIC RETRACTION
Causing dissociation or disaggregation of constellations, communities, clusters, systems and groups of neurons in the accociation areas.*

 

 

 

 

 

 

DENDRITIC EXPANSION
Forming assiciations and aggregations in inverse order of disaggregative process, viz.: Of groups, systems, clusters, communities and constellations.

 

 

 

 

CELL RESOLUTION
Progressive parenchymatous degeneration of the neuron, of its cyto-lymph (the storehouse of energy).

 

 

CELL RESTITUTION
Progressive restitution of cyto-lymph. Reconstruction of chemical compounds resolved by the cytolytic process.

 CATALYTIC THRESHOLD

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

= NEURON CATALYSIS
Liberation of static energy.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

= NEURON SYNTHESIS
Integration of static energy liberated by the catalytic process.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

= NEURON CYTOLYSIS
Further progressive liberation of static energy beyond catalysis.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

= NEURON CYTOTHESIS
Integration of static energy releases by the cytolytic process.
