I havenot seen anything conclusive about this debate yet. I sort of check on the web for that info and ask my neurologist whenever I see her/

My own bias is that neurons are asleep or atleast lazy and dont hear the alarm! If they were all dying, treatment with agonists would not work.

Whats the latest word from research, are our brain cells dying or lying dormant ?
