An investigation has been carried out on the stability of several enzymes in portions of rabbit brain and spinal cord kept at controlled temperatures between 22 and 37° C for periods up to 24 hours before processing for enzyme activity. The enzymes studied were NAD diaphorase, succinate, ...
Brain and spinal cord tumors that develop in the brain or spinal cord are called primary tumors. They can also spread throughout the body; once they do, they’ll be called metastatic tumors. But unlike others, brain and spinal cord tumors rarely spread to other body parts. In this post, ...

These glial cells help form the endothelial cells for your blood-brain barrier, maintain ion balance, and help repair the brain and spinal cord following traumatic brain injury.Manganese deficiency is uncommon. But not enough of this essential trace mineral can result in birth defects, impaired ...
Intraoperative neurophysiologic monitoring is a real time medical testing performed to evaluate the brain, spinal cord and nervous system during surgery to reduce the risk of complications. Neurodiagnostic TEX is an independent diagnostic testing facility which has been inspected and approved by Medicare...
It was also recently demonstrated in an animal model that the microbiota influences the presence of immune cells (specifically IgA) in the meninges (membrane coverings of the brain and spinal cord), which in turn can prevent the infiltration of pathogens into the brain (435). Thus, it could ...
Meningitis.This condition can be caused by a virus, such as mumps, or a bacteria that enters your brain through your bloodstream. A parasite or type of fungi could also be responsible. Meningitis inflames the lining around your brain or spinal cord. Neck stiffness,headache, fever, and confusi...
Glioma is a broad category ofbrainand spinal cord tumors that come from glial cells - brain cells that support nerve cells. The symptoms, prognosis, and treatment of a glioma depend on the person’s age, the exact type of tumor, and the location of the tumor within thebrain. These tumors...
