 |  |  |  | #3834 |  | 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.
