During hyponatremia, brain tissue is particularly vulnerable due to its high water content and limited ability to regulate osmotic balance. When serum sodium levels drop, water shifts into brain cells, causing cellular swelling and potentially leading to cerebral edema. This swelling can result in increased intracranial pressure and neurological symptoms, distinguishing brain tissue's response from other tissues, which may have more robust mechanisms for handling osmotic changes. Additionally, the blood-brain barrier complicates the brain's ability to adapt to rapid fluctuations in sodium levels.
brain tissue?!?!?!
Though sometimes, some people refer to the brain as a muscle, it really is not a muscle. It is made of completely different types of tissues than a muscle. There are four kinds of tissues in the body; connective tissue, epithelial tissue, muscle tissue, and nervous tissue. The brain is made entirely of nervous tissue and contains no muscle tissue what-so-ever.

Only the brain will have brain tissue
No. The brain is made up of nervous tissue, which is composed of specialized cells called neurons. Muscle tissue is composed of myocytes, or "muscle cells", which have a different organization, structure and function than nervous tissue.
brain tissue LOL this is true
You have nervous tissue mainly found in your brain. This tissue originates from ectoderm.
Nervous (nerve) tissue.
It can be called brain tissue, cerebral tissue or neural tissue (although the latter phrase can refer to nerve tissue anywhere in the body, and not just in the brain).
neuroplasticity
connective tissue
The reason that brain tissue is soft is because that is how God the creator chose to design it. Brain tissue is soft because it has the skull to protect it.
