1.   Doctors often give patients high doses of steroids to prevent swelling that can further damage delicate neural tissue in hopes of avoiding surgery, he added.

2.   Scientists have also learned that during a stroke, the brain releases massive quantities of nitric oxide, which greatly increases damage to the neural tissue.

3.   Simple sounds are again mapped on neural tissue.

4.   The brain has a relatively small amount of neural tissue dedicated to speech sounds, McClelland said, and so carves up that space with strong boundaries.

5.   The rest involve burst brain vessels that leak blood into neural tissue.

6.   The surviving neural tissue in the eyes of blind patients can respond to electrical stimulation.

7.   We are to be eclipsed by our own technology, ceding our outdated flesh, blood and neural tissue to integrated circuits and their mechanistic progeny.
