The idea that loss of neurons could be associated with disease states and that certain microscopic appearances could be indicative of these arose in the mid to late 1800s. If neurons die, become dysfunctional, or are disconnected following a challenge, functionality of the affected neural circuit is compromised. Depending on the magnitude and localization, this may have relatively mild consequences (such as a learning deficit) or major consequences (such as developmental delay, epilepsy, cerebral palsy, or death). We are interested in selective or regional neuron death because they can help to explain the neurologic dysfunction experienced by an individual or give insight into the pathologic process that preceded death.
