Thanks for reading my article.

Neurons are intended to function for life. Loss of a neuron to cell death is permanent. As damage to the receptors and neurons progress the neuron’s function slowly fades until neurotransmitter production decreases and eventually stops over time.

A nerve is made up of many neurons, often called a nerve bundle. As individual neurons fade and/or die, the amount of neurotransmitter sent through a nerve bundle decreases.
