  2. Neurobiological effects of physical exercise - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neurobiological_effects_of...

    Neuroplasticity is the process by which neurons adapt to a disturbance over time, and most often occurs in response to repeated exposure to stimuli. [27] Aerobic exercise increases the production of neurotrophic factors [note 1] (e.g., BDNF, IGF-1, VEGF) which mediate improvements in cognitive functions and various forms of memory by promoting blood vessel formation in the brain, adult ...

  3. Dicamba - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dicamba

    Dicamba is toxic to conifer species but is in general less toxic to grasses. [2] Dicamba is a synthetic auxin that functions by increasing plant growth rate, leading to senescence and cell death. [2] [11] The growth regulating properties of dicamba were first discovered by Zimmerman and Hitchcock in 1942. [12]

  4. Toxic encephalopathy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toxic_encephalopathy

    Toxic encephalopathy is a neurologic disorder caused by exposure to neurotoxic organic solvents such as toluene, following exposure to heavy metals such as manganese, as a side effect of melarsoprol treatment for African trypanosomiasis, adverse effects to prescription drugs, or exposure to extreme concentrations of any natural toxin such as cyanotoxins found in shellfish or freshwater ...

  5. Neurotoxin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neurotoxin

    The nervous tissue found in the brain, spinal cord, and periphery comprises an extraordinarily complex biological system that largely defines many of the unique traits of individuals. As with any highly complex system, however, even small perturbations to its environment can lead to significant functional disruptions.

  6. Neurotoxicity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neurotoxicity

    Neurotoxicity is a form of toxicity in which a biological, chemical, or physical agent produces an adverse effect on the structure or function of the central and/or peripheral nervous system. [1] It occurs when exposure to a substance – specifically, a neurotoxin or neurotoxicant – alters the normal activity of the nervous system in such a ...

  7. Nervous system disease - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nervous_system_disease

    Nervous system diseases, also known as nervous system or neurological disorders, refers to a small class of medical conditions affecting the nervous system.This category encompasses over 600 different conditions, including genetic disorders, infections, cancer, seizure disorders (such as epilepsy), conditions with a cardiovascular origin (such as stroke), congenital and developmental disorders ...

  8. Cerebral circulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cerebral_circulation

    Cerebral circulation is the movement of blood through a network of cerebral arteries and veins supplying the brain. The rate of cerebral blood flow in an adult human is typically 750 milliliters per minute, or about 15% of cardiac output. Arteries deliver oxygenated blood, glucose and other nutrients to the brain.

  9. Cerebrovascular disease - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cerebrovascular_disease

    When the low cerebral blood flow persists for a longer duration, this may develop into an infarction in the border zones (areas of poor blood flow between the major cerebral artery distributions). In more severe instances, global hypoxia-ischemia causes widespread brain injury leading to a severe cognitive sequelae called hypoxic-ischemic ...
