Abstract
The reactions of the surrounding brain can be divided into two types: primary reactions are direct changes in the morphologic and physico-chemical structure of the surrounding brain tissues, while secondary reactions are such sequelae as displacement and distortion of the brain produced by purely mechanical factors. The latter can lead to changes of the first type, as a result of constriction, herniation, circulatory inadequacy, or stasis accompanied by changes in brain volume.
