Why brain cells swell when the blood plasma is very dilute?

Osmosis is the movement of water from a High Water (Dilute Solution) to a Low Water (Strong Solution). If blood plasma becomes very dilute with water, when it travels to the brain the brain cells will swell because the are taking on too much water. This happens because the high concentration of water (in the blood) is moving to the lower concentration of water (brain cells) making the cells swell as they are taking on too much water.
