Diseases
- Astrocytoma [r]: A glioma arising from astrocytes of the central nervous system; range from indolent to highly aggressive [e]
- Glioblastoma [r]: An aggressively invasive neoplasm of the central nervous system, primarily the brain; not curable but length of survival has improved somewhat in recent years [e]
- Cerebrospinal fluid [r]: The liquid in which the central nervous system is embedded. [e]
- Brain ventricle [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Brain development [r]: The build-up of the brain from ectodermal cells to a complex structure of neurons, glia and blood vessels. [e]
- Brain evolution [r]: The process by which the central nervous system changed over many generations. [e]
- Myelin [r]: The proteinaceous material constituting most of the insulating sheath that surrounds the axons of nerve cells. [e]
- Dopamine [r]: A monoamine neurotransmitter formed in the brain by the decarboxylation of dopa and essential to the normal functioning of the central nervous system. [e]
- Ion channel [r]: Gated, ion-selective glycoproteins that traverse membranes. The stimulus for channel gating can be a membrane potential, drug, transmitter, cytoplasmic messenger, or a mechanical deformation. [e]
