  3. Human brain - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_brain

    Betz cells are the largest cells (by size of cell body) in the nervous system. [40] The adult human brain is estimated to contain 86±8 billion neurons, with a roughly equal number (85±10 billion) of non-neuronal cells. [41] Out of these neurons, 16 billion (19%) are located in the cerebral cortex, and 69 billion (80%) are in the cerebellum ...

  4. Folate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Folate

    In addition to a role in intestinal absorption, RFC is expressed in virtually all tissues and is the major route of delivery of folate to cells within the systemic circulation under physiological conditions. When pharmacological amounts of folate are taken as a dietary supplement, absorption also takes place by a passive diffusion-like process.

  5. Tetrahydrobiopterin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tetrahydrobiopterin

    Tetrahydrobiopterin (BH 4, THB), also known as sapropterin (), [5] [6] is a cofactor of the three aromatic amino acid hydroxylase enzymes, [7] used in the degradation of amino acid phenylalanine and in the biosynthesis of the neurotransmitters serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine, 5-HT), melatonin, dopamine, norepinephrine (noradrenaline), epinephrine (adrenaline), and is a cofactor for the ...

    Primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL), also termed primary diffuse large B-cell lymphoma of the central nervous system (DLBCL-CNS), [2] is a primary intracranial tumor appearing mostly in patients with severe immunodeficiency (typically patients with AIDS). It is a subtype and one of the most aggressive of the diffuse large B-cell ...

  7. Glucose uptake - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glucose_uptake

    GLUT3 is primarily expressed in neurons, specifically in cell processes (axons and dendrites), however, it is also found in many other cells throughout the body. [7] GLUT4 is an insulin-responsive glucose transporter located in the heart, skeletal muscle, brain, and adipose tissue. GLUT4 is generally in vesicles in the cytoplasm.

  8. Von Economo neuron - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Von_Economo_neuron

    Micrograph showing a von Economo neuron of the cingulate. HE-LFB stain.. Von Economo neurons, also called spindle neurons, are a specific class of mammalian cortical neurons characterized by a large spindle-shaped soma (or body) gradually tapering into a single apical axon (the ramification that transmits signals) in one direction, with only a single dendrite (the ramification that receives ...

  9. Vitamin D and neurology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vitamin_D_and_neurology

    These two brain structures are responsible for motor functions and linking the nervous system to the endocrine system, respectively. The expression of these metabolite derivatives in these areas suggests that these structures have the ability to synthesize these products from vitamin D.
