Cellular and network mechanisms of spreading depolarization
Year: 2026
Type: article
Abstract: article details the fundamental mechanisms of spreading depolarization (SD), a common central nervous system phenomenon rarely discussed in neuroscience curricula that is implicated in many neuropathologies, including mild and traumatic brain injury, migraine, and stroke. Therefore, incorporating SD into neuroscience education adds clinically relevant context that engages students and supports deeper understanding of foundational neurophysiology.
