This discovery was the first proof that neurotransmitter levels change following a cutoff of blood to the brain; it forms the basis of the Wurtman-Zervas theory. The two neuroscientists speculate that cells starved of oxygen as the result of strokes die and allow their stored dopamine to escape. Dopamine is normally released only in minuscule amounts, and a sudden flood of the chemical can be lethal. Excess dopamine can cause nearby blood vessels to contract, cutting off oxygen to neighboring cells and thus spreading the stroke damage. After the flood has subsided, there is a serious shortage...
