| neurofibromatosis 2 | Severe autosomal dominant disorder characterised especially by bilateral acoustic neuromas as well as other multiple tumours including meningiomas, ependymomas, spinal neurofibromas, and gliomas. The disease has been linked to mutations of the nf2 gene on chromosome 22. (12 Dec 1998) |

| neurofibrosarcoma | A malignant tumour of neural sheath origin. Although superficially similar in appearance to fibrosarcoma, it is more aggressive and its cells are more variable in size and shape. The most common primary sites are the extremities, retroperitoneum, and trunk. It accounts for 5-10% of all non-rhabdomyosarcomatous soft tissue sarcomas in children. Neurofibrosarcoma often occurs in association with von recklinghausen's disease. (12 Dec 1998) |
| neurofilament | <cell biology> Member of the class of intermediate filaments found in axons of nerve cells. In vertebrates assembled from three distinct protein subunits. (neurofilament L, 68 kD, neurofilament M, 160 kD, & neurofilament H 200 kD) These proteins, if introduced into fibroblasts, will incorporate into the vimentin filament system. (29 Dec 1997) |
| neurofilament proteins | Type III intermediate filament proteins that assemble into neurofilaments, the major cytoskeletal element in nerve axons and dendrites. They consist of three distinct polypeptides, the neurofilament triplet. Types I, II, and IV intermediate filament proteins form other cytoskeletal elements such as keratins and lamins. It appears that the metabolism of neurofilaments is disturbed in alzheimer's disease, as indicated by the presence of neurofilament epitopes in the neurofibrillary tangles, as well as by the severe reduction of the expression of the gene for the light neurofilament subunit of the neurofilament triplet in brains of alzheimer's patients.

| neurofilament-associated kinase | <enzyme> Phosphorylates a subset of peptides in vitro which are phosphorylated in vivo in cultured neurons Registry number: EC 2.7.1.- Synonym: naf kinase (26 Jun 1999) |
| neuroganglion | 1. A knot or knotlike mass. 2. <anatomy> A general term for a group of nerve cell bodies located outside the central nervous system, occasionally applied to certain nuclear groups within the brain or spinal cord, for example basal ganglia. 3. <oncology, tumour> A benign cystic tumour occurring on a aponeurosis or tendon, as in the wrist or dorsum of the foot, it consists of a thin fibrous capsule enclosing a clear mucinous fluid. (18 Nov 1997) |
| neurogastric | Relating to the innervation of the stomach. (05 Mar 2000) |
| neurogenesis | <embryology> Differentiation of the nervous system from the ectoderm of the early embryo. There are major differences between neurogenesis in vertebrates and invertebrates. (18 Nov 1997) |
| neurogenic | <embryology> Arising from or caused by the nervous system. Origin: Gr. Gennan = to produce (27 Sep 1997) |
| neurogenic atrophy | Abnormalities of the skin, hair, nails, subcutaneous tissues and bone, caused by peripheral nerve lesions. Synonym: neuritic atrophy, neurogenic atrophy, neurotrophic atrophy, trophic changes. (05 Mar 2000) |
| neurogenic bladder | A dysfunction of the bladder due a malfunction of the autonomic nerves which control bladder function. (27 Sep 1997) |
| neurogenic fracture | A fracture in bone weakened by disease of the nerve supply. (05 Mar 2000) |
| neurogenic gene | Best described in Drosophila, genes that are required to determine a neuronal fate. Examples: Notch, Delta. (18 Nov 1997) |
| neurogenic shock | <neurology> This form of distributive shock results from a change in systemic vascular resistance, mediated by a neurologic injury (for example, head injury, spinal cord injury). Synonym: spinal shock. (27 Sep 1997) |
| neurogenic tonus | Contraction of a muscle caused by the influence of its extrinsic nerve supply (05 Mar 2000) |
