Cerebellar Cortex
|
D002525 |
[The superficial GRAY MATTER of the CEREBELLUM. It consists of two main layers, the stratum moleculare and the stratum granulosum.

|
Cerebellar Diseases
|
D002526 |
[Diseases that affect the structure or function of the cerebellum. Cardinal manifestations of cerebellar dysfunction include dysmetria, GAIT ATAXIA, and MUSCLE HYPOTONIA.

|
Cerebellar Golgi Cells
|
D000080906 |
[Inhibitory interneurons embedded in the granular layer of the CEREBELLAR CORTEX.
] |
|
Cerebellar Neoplasms
|
D002528 |
[Primary or metastatic neoplasms of the CEREBELLUM. Tumors in this location frequently present with ATAXIA or signs of INTRACRANIAL HYPERTENSION due to obstruction of the fourth ventricle. Common primary cerebellar tumors include fibrillary ASTROCYTOMA and cerebellar HEMANGIOBLASTOMA. The cerebellum is a relatively common site for tumor metastases from the lung, breast, and other distant organs. (From Okazaki & Scheithauer, Atlas of Neuropathology, 1988, p86 and p141)

|
Cerebellar Nuclei
|
D002529 |
[Four clusters of neurons located deep within the WHITE MATTER of the CEREBELLUM, which are the nucleus dentatus, nucleus emboliformis, nucleus globosus, and nucleus fastigii.
] |
|
Cerebellar Vermis
|
D065814 |
[A subregion of the CEREBELLAR CORTEX, located along the midsagittal plane of the CEREBELLUM.
] |
|
Cerebellopontine Angle
|
D002530 |
[Junction between the cerebellum and the pons.
] |
|
Cerebellum
|
D002531 |
[The part of brain that lies behind the BRAIN STEM in the posterior base of skull (CRANIAL FOSSA, POSTERIOR). It is also known as the "little brain" with convolutions similar to those of CEREBRAL CORTEX, inner white matter, and deep cerebellar nuclei. Its function is to coordinate voluntary movements, maintain balance, and learn motor skills.

|
Cerebral Amyloid Angiopathy
|
D016657 |
[A heterogeneous group of sporadic or familial disorders characterized by AMYLOID deposits in the walls of small and medium sized blood vessels of CEREBRAL CORTEX and MENINGES. Clinical features include multiple, small lobar CEREBRAL HEMORRHAGE; cerebral ischemia (BRAIN ISCHEMIA); and CEREBRAL INFARCTION. Cerebral amyloid angiopathy is unrelated to generalized AMYLOIDOSIS. Amyloidogenic peptides in this condition are nearly always the same ones found in ALZHEIMER DISEASE. (from Kumar: Robbins and Cotran: Pathologic Basis of Disease, 7th ed., 2005)

|
Cerebral Amyloid Angiopathy, Familial
|
D028243 |
[A familial disorder marked by AMYLOID deposits in the walls of small and medium sized blood vessels of CEREBRAL CORTEX and MENINGES.
] |
|
Cerebral Angiography
|
D002533 |
[Radiography of the vascular system of the brain after injection of a contrast medium.
] |
|
Cerebral Aqueduct
|
D002535 |
[Narrow channel in the MESENCEPHALON that connects the third and fourth CEREBRAL VENTRICLES.
] |
|
Cerebral Arterial Diseases
|
D002539 |
[Pathological conditions of intracranial ARTERIES supplying the CEREBRUM. These diseases often are due to abnormalities or pathological processes in the ANTERIOR CEREBRAL ARTERY; MIDDLE CEREBRAL ARTERY; and POSTERIOR CEREBRAL ARTERY.
] |
|
Cerebral Arteries
|
D002536 |
[The arterial blood vessels supplying the CEREBRUM.
] |
|
Cerebral Blood Volume
|
D000071937 |
[Volume of circulating blood in a region of the brain. It is a functional measure of the brain perfusion status which relates changes in this to changes in CEREBROVASULAR CIRCULATION that are often seen in brain diseases.
] |
|
Cerebral Cortex
|
D002540 |
[The thin layer of GRAY MATTER on the surface of the CEREBRAL HEMISPHERES that develops from the TELENCEPHALON and folds into gyri and sulchi. It reaches its highest development in humans and is responsible for intellectual faculties and higher mental functions.
, Type of cerebral cortex which does not pass through a perinatal phase of six-layered structure as in the NEOCORTEX and develops into three or four layers in the mature brain. Allocortex has three subareas: archi- paleo- and periallo-cortex.
] |
|
Cerebral Cortical Thinning
|
D000082643 |
[Decrease in CEREBRAL CORTICAL THICKNESS.
] |
|
Cerebral Crus
|
D065843 |
[Anterior portion of the cerebral peduncle which contains the motor tracts.
] |
|
Cerebral Decortication
|
D002541 |
[Partial or total removal, ablation, or destruction of the cerebral cortex; may be chemical. It is not used with animals that do not possess a cortex, i.e., it is used only with mammals.
] |
|
Cerebral Hemorrhage
|
D002543 |
[Bleeding into one or both CEREBRAL HEMISPHERES including the BASAL GANGLIA and the CEREBRAL CORTEX. It is often associated with HYPERTENSION and CRANIOCEREBRAL TRAUMA.
