A related idea is that peripheral nerves are the source of the problem and then cause the associated vascular changes via release of 5-HT and other inflammatory mediators. The observation that the changes in the vasculature do not follow vascular anatomy has led to a new theory, that of spreading depression . Here, the primary abnormality is... 

This section reviews basic principles of brain anatomy and function to provide a framework within which to discuss the effect of plants on the CNS. The human nervous system is exceptionally complex, it is the body s major communication system, and is divided into central and peripheral regions. The central nervous system consists of the brain and spinal cord, and the peripheral nervous system consists of all other nerves. Although thought processes and reason are most commonly associated with the CNS, almost every aspect of physiological function is affected by CNS activity. After all, Brain death is widely accepted as the definition of the end of human life 10). The follow description of CNS anatomy and physiology can be foimd in most text books on the and reviews on the subject 11, 17). 

Figure 6.1 Anatomy of a nerve. Nerves consist of a modal structure, comprised of an axon that is surrounded by a membrane called the endoneurium. Several of these axons comprise a fascicle, which is bounded by the perineurium. In turn, nmnetous fascicles make up the peripheral nerve, which is covered by the epineurium. The inset on the left shows an unmyelinated axon and the inset on the bottom shows a myelinated axon (Lee and Wolfe, 2000). Reproduced with permission from Elsevier Lundborg, G., 1987.
