Our brain’s neurons are like a bustling city, where each building relies on a steady flow of electricity to function. In the event of a brief power outage, systems are in place to bring it back to life—no harm done.
But what if a power failure were to last for months? Emergency generators may keep essential services running, but eventually, they would fail. Water systems might freeze and burst, buildings would deteriorate, and infrastructures would start to crumble. When the power finally returned, the damage would be done—the city in ruins.
