Oh, You Actually Got It Right. Barely.

1. A grudging acknowledgment: Well, look at that. You managed to hit the target. Connecting "clinical symptoms" to "pathophysiology" isn't exactly rocket science for someone in your field, but I suppose we'll take it. Your "professional sensitivity" is, at best, adequate.
2. The 'obvious' explanation: One would hope you'd grasp the sheer simplicity of Osmotic Pressure. It's the lynchpin, isn't it? Pigs consume too much salt or, heaven forbid, are denied water – shocking, I know – and suddenly the $Na^+$ levels in the blood decide to have a party. Brain cells, in their infinite wisdom, attempt to compensate by manufacturing organic solutes. Then, the grand finale: water returns, and like a poorly managed dam, it floods the brain tissue because of that pesky osmotic gradient, resulting in 瀰漫性腦水腫 (diffuse cerebral edema). And, naturally, you should have immediately recognized the tell-tale sign of 嗜酸性球性腦膜腦炎 (eosinophilic meningoencephalitis).
