Abscess, cerebellum
Description - a localised collection of pus caused by suppuration in the cerebellum

Cerebellum
Description - the portion of the brain in the back of the head between the cerebrum and the brain stem; it controls balance for walking and standing, and other complex motor functions

Cerebral hemorrhage
Alternative Name - cerebral haemorrhage
Description - a sudden and abrupt bleeding into the tissue of the brain; usually occurs as the result of a weakened artery from the effects of high blood pressure and atherosclerosis

Cerebral softening
Description - a localised softening of the brain substance due to inflammation or haemorrhage localized softening of the brain substance, due to hemorrhage or inflammation

Cerebrum
Description - the largest part of the brain, controlling muscle functions speech, thought, emotions, reading, writing, and learning

Dementia, paralytica
Alternative Name - paralytic dementia
Description - dementia and paralysis resulting from a chronic syphilitic meningoencephalitis

Encephalitis, post-vaccinal
Description - inflammation of the brain as a result of vaccination

Glioblastoma multiforme
Description - a malignant brain tumour that accounts for 75% of glial tumours (arising from glial cells in the brain).

Hippocampus
Description - part of the limbic system of the brain, involved in emotions and memory

Infarct, cortical, brain
Description - tissue death due to a local lack of oxygen in the cerebral cortex (outer layer that covers the cerebrum, functions chiefly in coordination of sensory and motor information)

Infarct, old, cerebellum
Description - an old area of tissue death due to a local lack of oxygen in the cerebellum (concerned especially with the coordination of muscles and the maintenance of bodily equilibrium)

Medulla oblongata
Description - lower part of brain stem; controls autonomic functions; relays nerve signals between the brain and spinal cord
Meningioma, brain
Description - common benign brain tumour that originates in the cells of the outer covering of the brain (meninges)

Meningioma, brain, malignant
Description - malignant tumour the cells of the outer covering of the brain (meninges)

Meningitis with cortical oedema
Description - inflammation of the meninges with fluid retention in the cortex

Meningitis, pneumococcal
Description - inflammation of the meninges of the brain as a result of infection by strep pneumoniae

Meningitis, tuberculous
Description - inflammation of the meninges of the brain as a result of tuberculosis

Nerve
Description - a bundle of fibers that uses electrical and chemical signals to transmit sensory and motor information from one body part to another

Nerve, peripheral
Description - the nerves outside of the brain and spinal cord; they contain non-neuronal cells and connective tissue as well as axons

Neuroblastoma
Description - cancer that arises in immature nerve cells and affects mostly infants and children

Neurofibroma
Description - a benign tumor that develops from the cells and tissues that cover nerves

Pilocytic astrocytoma, brain
Alternative Name - juvenile astrocytoma
Description - a nerve-tissue tumor composed of astrocytes; the most common brain tumor in children

Sympathetic ganglion
Description - a group of nerve cell bodies either close to the spinal column or close to the large abdominal arteries

Thalamus
Description - a large mass of gray matter deeply situated in the forebrain; relays information received from various brain regions to the cerebral cortex

Toxoplasmosis, brain
Description - brain showing symptoms caused by toxoplasma gondii, often contacted via cat faeces
