My science teacher was making a reference to encephalitis in one of her 
lectures. I asked her about it, but she simply said that it was an inflamation 
of the brain and continued with her lecture. What i want to know is what is 
inflamation of the brain and how do you get it? Her lecture was on viruses, 
but she didn't explain how you get viruses, just how they get in your cells 
once they are in your body. My teacher is not very approachable and it is hard 
to ask her questions. Your answer would be a big help for my test next week.
