Jacob, this is just a layman's thoughts about the neurons: If a part of the body is dead, I believe it decomposes, and quickly damages surrounding tissues. I am thinking of gangrene. Probably the neurons are just dormant, or unable to do their job, like a car battery with dirty contacts, the power is there, but it can't get out to do any useful work. Since the brain does work with electrical impulses, maybe that is a good guess. Ken B
