Brain pathology. Neuropathologist's gloved hands arrange slices of a human brain,using scalpel and forceps,for gross pathology. By studying the shape and structure of a brain,most brain disorders can be diagnosed. For instance,Alzheimer's disease causes shrinkage and the fissures appear to grow. A stroke causes localised brain tissue death,and Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease gives the brain a spongy appearance with evident holes. This type of pathology is carried out not only to try to find causes of death,but also in research into all brain disorders | |
