cerebral atrophy, n:
|
The phenomena which
occurs as brain cells become weak and sick, and impair the brain's performance.
An abundance of these "bad" cells can cause symptoms related to senility, apathy,
depression, and overall poor academic performance. A certain small number of
brain cells will deteriorate due to everday activity, but large amounts are
weakened by intense mental effort and the assimilation of difficult concepts.
Many college students become victims of this dread disorder due to poor habits
such as overstudying.

cerebral darwinism, n:
|
The theory that the effects of
cerebral atrophy can be reversed through the purging action of heavy alcohol
consumption. Large amounts of alcohol cause many brain cells to perish due to
oxygen deprivation. Through the process of natural selection, the weak and sick
brain cells will die first, leaving only the healthy cells. This wonderful
process leaves the imbiber with a healthier, more vibrant brain, and increases
mental capacity. Thus, the devastating effects of cerebral atrophy are reversed,
and academic performance actually increases beyond previous levels.
